Answer:

Afferent arteriolar vasoconstriction decreases blood flow into the glomerulus, which causes the glomerular-capillary blood pressure to decrease, leading to a(n) decrease in the net filtration pressure and a resultant decrease in the GFR.

Explanation:

Pretty self-explanatory.

Alex73 [517]
<h2>Sodium channels </h2>

Explanation:

Depolarization is a result of sodium channels opening as a result of chemical or pressure-based stimuli    

  • Depolarization starts when a threshold stimulus applied on a neuron via Na+ mechanically operated channels that trigger action potential
  • Action potential is an efficient signaling process by which distantly located cells communicate to each other
  • Depolarization of membrane potential is due to influx of Na+ via voltage gated Na+ channels
  • Fast opening of voltage gated Na+ channel shifts membrane potential from -70mV to + 50mV at which voltage gated Na+ channels become inactive thus influx of Na+ abruptly stops

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Produced by the choroid plexus -T.This is the major secretion site.It is also produced in smaller quantities in the interstitial compartment.

Blocks blood toxins from brain tissue-F, that is the job of  the blood brain barrier(BBB).

Supplies oxygen to the brain tissue-T.This gas is dissolved  in the CSF together with CO2 for distribution among nervous tissues by the CSF

Maintains the concentration of glycine surrounding the brain-T

Found in the ventricles of the heart and brain-False,it does not reach the heart ventricles.This are occupied by blood.

Prevents concussions-T

Produces antibodies in response to antigen exposure in the brain tissue-False.These are produced by the B-cells, not by in the CSF,based on the  specif antigen stimulation.

Effectively decreases the brain's weight-T It reduces the weight of the brain.This is done by the buoyancy it provided for the brain.

Compared to levels in the blood plasma, the CSF is higher in glucose-F.This is wrong, the glucose of the blood plasma is higher.But equal sodium ion,more chloride in CSF, and less protein.It s levels is a relefection of blood glucose.Although it may lag 2-4hrs in the CSF.

It prevents concussion,(T)and and the contraction of cardiac muscles propels its movement(T).
