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

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.

NikAS [45]

Answer:

The osprey card and its description should be placed in the heterotrophs group.

Explanation:

Organisms that can synthesize inorganic substances, such as light, and turn it into food according to their own needs are <u>producers</u>, and they are called a<u>utotrophic organisms</u>. These organisms are by excellence all <u>plants</u>, that <u>photosynthesize</u>.  Organisms that are incapable of producing their food are called <u>heterotrophic organisms</u>. They <em>depend on other organisms</em> from the trophic chain such as plants or other animals to feed on, so they can get proteins and energy.

In the trophic chain, heterotrophic organisms occupy the <u>first, second or third consumer level</u>, after producers.

There are different types of heterotrophic animals: carnivorous, herbivorous, omnivorous, hematophagous, ichthyophagous, and etcetera. All of them depend on autotrophic organisms.

How is the scientific method used in earth science (it was due yesterday)
Bingel [31]

Answer: <em>The steps used in scientific methods are to ask a question, form a hypothesis, test the hypothesis, analyze the results, draw conclusions, and communicate results. A controlled experiment tests only one factor at a time so that scientists can determine the effects of changes to just that one factor.</em>

Which nerves are the hair cells in contact with?
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Auditory nerve

Explanation:

Hair cells form synapses with bipolar neurons whose axons form the auditory nerve. Tips of the outer hair cells are attached directly to the tectorial membrane. When the inner hair cells move they make contact with the overhanging tectorial membrane

Fun fact: Hair and nials are made out of the same things!
