The glomerular filtration rate would most likely be affected by:

Medicine
1 answer:
Neporo4naja [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- B.

Explanation:

Glomerular filtration rate or GFR is the rate of the volume of filtrate formed by all renal corpuscles of both kidneys per unit time that is 120 ml/ min. The GFR depends on the pressure gradient in the glomerulus mainly its hydrostatic pressure.

The GFR is directly proportional to the glomerular blood pressure as the blood pressure increases, the hydrostatic pressure also increases which increases the GFR as more water and solutes enter the bowman's capsule. With the decrease in the blood vessels, the GFR decreases.

Thus, option- B is the correct answer.

The movement of ions through their channels require a discharge of the capacitance.
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The answer to the question: The movement of ions through their channels require a discharge of the capacitance, is, true.

Explanation:

In order for cells, muscular and neuronal, to perform their activities, they need to generate action potentials, that will permit these activities. In order for an action potential to happen, a cell´s membrance must be charged, or rather, its polarity must be changed, so that the cell can be charged and then fire. Usually, cells remain in a resting membrane state, in which, the extracellular matrix remains positive, while the intracellular space remains positive, due to ion, and anion presence in either. In order for the action potential to happen, these polarities are reversed through a series of steps in which ions, particularly potassium and sodium, sometimes calcium, will enter and exit the cell´s membrane to change this polarity. But in order for this process to take place, first a current, or stimulation, must motivate the cell to start the process. The capacitance is the capability of a cell to be ready to be activated or de-activated when stimulated, meaning, to be charged and discharged, when necessary. In order for this capacitance to permit the process of action potential formation, it needs to be discharged first, and this is done through the stimulus, which orders the cell´s membrane to initiate depolarization by opening up the ion channels. This is why the answer is true.
