Question
Vasodilation of blood vessels to the kidneys is due to _________.a. more frequent action potentials b.less frequent action potentials
Step 1
It results from relaxation of smooth muscle cells within the vessel walls, particularly in the large veins, large arteries, and smaller arterioles. This process increases blood flow to specific areas of the body. Show more…

local arteriolar mechanisms that keep tissue blood flow fairly constant despite rather wide deviations :in mean arterial driving pressure is called autoregulation .A vasodilation .B venous return .C vasoconstriction .D
In a normal kidney, which of the following conditions would cause an increase in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR)? (a) constriction of the afferent arteriole, (b) a decrease in the pressure of the glomerulus, (c) an increase in the capsular hydrostatic pressure (d) a decrease in the concentration of plasma proteins in the blood, (e) a decrease in the net glomerular filtration process.
