Question

If the diameter of the efferent arterioles leading away from the glomerulus increases (vasodilation) glomerular filtration rate will decrease. true false

Answer 1

The given statement exists true.

The diameter of the efferent arterioles in the glomerulus decreased while

• Net filtration pressure will decrease.
• The glomerular filtration rate will decrease.
• Urine output will decrease.
• Systemic blood pressure will decrease.

What would happen if the diameter of the efferent arterioles in the glomerulus decreased?

• The net pressure of filtration will drop.
• The rate of glomerular filtration will slow down.
• Urine production will drop.
• The level of systemic blood pressure will drop.

The approaching (afferent) arteriole has a larger diameter than the outgoing (efferent) arteriole (by which blood leaves the glomerulus). The difference in diameter between the entering and leaving arterioles causes the blood pressure inside the glomerulus to rise.

The blood components are forced out of the glomerular capillaries by elevated blood pressure. Glomerular filtration is hindered and slows down if the diameter of the efferent arteriole exceeds that of the afferent arteriole. Without the real pressure gradient, it is also impossible to filter out all the components.
