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.

The correct answer is: segmentation.

Segmentation is the fact that some animals and plants have parts of the body that are divided into segments, which typically have a similar structure (they are then called repetitive segments).

Humans also have a segmentation, for example in their spine.

svetoff [14.1K]
When we breathe, our respiratory system takes up oxygen and carbon dioxide or other useless gases go out . The oxygen combines with the haemoglobin in the blood of the circulatory system . This is transferred to all the cells of our body to get energy.
