Neural control of gfr is mediated by ________ that innervate ________ receptors on vascular smooth muscle causing ________

Biology

Neural control of GFR is mediated by Sympathetic neurons that innervate alpha receptors on vascular smooth muscle causing Vasoconstriction.

<h3>How is GFR regulated?</h3>
  • The sympathetic division of the nervous system regulates the GFR or Glomerular Filtration Rate.
  • GFR is the sum total of filtration rates of all the working nephrons in the kidney.
  • Sympathetic division comes into action when the mean arterial pressure is very low (below 80mmHg).
  • In response to low blood pressure, the medulla releases norepinephrine through sympathetic nerves.
  • Norepinephrine leads to activation of alpha receptors on arteries which cause vasoconstriction.
  • Alpha receptors are more abundant on afferent arterioles.
  • This leads to vasoconstriction (narrowing) of arteries supplying to the glomerulus.
  • This decreases blood flow to glomerulus, leading to decrease in GFR.

Blood typing is based on the presence of proteins known as __________ on the outer surface of the red blood cell plasma membrane
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer: Option B) Antigens

Blood typing is based on the presence of proteins known as antigens on the outer surface of the red blood cell plasma membrane.

Explanation:

Blood groups A, B, AB, and O are determined based on the antigen-antibody reactions between donor and recipient bloods.

For instance,

- Blood type A has antigen A on its plasma membrane

- Blood type B has antigen B on its plasma membrane

- Blood type AB has both antigen A and antigen B on its plasma membrane

- while blood type O has neither antigen A nor B on its plasma membrane

So, antigens is the answer

Birds, insects, and many reptiles excrete nitrogenous waste in the form of uric acid, which _____. see concept 44.2 (page 980)
Degger [83]
<span>The answer would be:
reduces water loss compared to other nitrogenous wastes, but requires more metabolic energy to produce

Nitrogen waste needs to be removed out of the body. There are a few ways to remove the nitrogen waste but it will vary in the amount of energy used. 
Uric acid is less soluble which makes it won't be secreted in urine, thus reducing the need to urinate and reduce water loss. But the production of uric acid need hydrolysis of ATP, so it needs more energy.
Fish will secrete the waste as ammonia which soluble in water but doesn't need ATP to synthesize.</span>
