How would afferent arteriole dilation in response to a fall in blood pressure affect the gfr?

masya89 [10]1 year ago
5 0

Afferent arteriole dilation in response to a fall in blood pressure increases the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

An essential component of renal function, glomerular filtration aids in the removal of waste products and the maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance. Equation GFR = Kf × net filtration pressure, where Kf is the filtration coefficient, yields the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The renal artery pressure, afferent and efferent arteriolar resistance, and the glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure all have an impact.

GFR rises as a result of an increase in glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure and a decrease in resistance in the afferent arteriolar diameter. The opposite happens when the afferent arteriole's diameter is reduced. GFR rises in response to an increase in renal artery pressure. The reverse outcome will occur if renal artery pressure (or renal blood flow) is decreased.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is D) domain

Explanation:

The father of taxonomy is Linnaeus. Taxonomy helps in classify and naming organisms. The modern taxonomy has eight levels of classification. Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.

Domain is the highest level of classification so it is the largest category that would include closely related species. When we go from domain towards species the number of similarities increase and number of organism decrease and vice versa is true when we move from species to domain. So the right answer is domain.

Cerebrospinal fluid is produced by the
nikklg [1K]

Answer: Option A "Choroid plexus".

Explanation:

Cerebrospinal fluid can be defined as the fluid that is found in the brain and spinal cord of human beings. It is a clear and colorless fluid.

The production of cerebrospinal fluid takes place by the specialized ependymal cells that lies in the choroid plexuses which is present in the  ventricles of brain.

The amount of cerebrospinal fluid in a day is 500mL. This fluid acts as cushion that protects the brain from mechanical and immunological protection.

Hence, the correction answer is option A
