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.

<h2>Polychaetes </h2>

Explanation:

Polychaetes is any of the diverse, mostly marine segmented worms of the annelid class Polychaeta, characterized by having most segments with one pair of lateral, fleshy, lobe like appendages called parapodia, with numerous bristles projecting from them
Polychaetes have true segments and anterior to the true segments lie the prostomium and peristomium
This head region of two segments typically contains two pairs of eyes, three antennae, several tentacles, a pair of palps, and the mouth
Polychaeta is divided into Errantia and Sedentaria for convenience
Errantia (scaleworms, sea mice):A subclass of polychaete worms which have a large number of body segments, those of the head and posterior differing from the rest,the mouth often has several paired jaws
Most are vagile predators, others adopt a burrowing mode of life and are first recorded from the Cambrian
Sedentaria (bamboo worms, coneworms):A subclass of entirely marine worms in which the body segments and parapodia differ along the length of an individual,all Sedentaria are burrowers or tube-dwellers and are first recorded from the Ordovician

Which statement accurately describes the origin and expansion of the universe?

stira [4]

<u>ANSWER:</u>

Cosmic background radiation is leftover thermal energy from the Big Bang best describes the origin and expansion of the universe.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

The "Big Bang Theory" is used to describe how the universe has begun.

The theory basically states that the "universe" began as a "single point" and then "expanded and stretched" and is expanding even today.

When the universe began, it was "hot tiny particles" mixed with heat and light and as it "expanded" and took up "more space", it cooled down and formed atoms.

The "best evidence of the big bang" is the radiation of cosmic background that was leftover when the first big bang explosion took place and began the universe.
