Question

A significant decrease in blood pressure affects the normal functioning of the kidneys as follows:
A) Increases pressure in Urinary bladder B) Reduces the Glomerular filtration

C) More water is reabsorbed. D) Increases the tubular secretion​

Answer 1

Answer:

b)reduces the glomerular filtration

Explanation:

When the blood pressure is low, there is less blood flowing through the filters and hence less urine formation that results from those individual filters. Each filter in the kidney is called a glomerulus. Normally there are about 3 million filters in the two kidneys. Hence, when we measure kidney function, we measure "glomerular filtration rate" which is abbreviated as GFR.
