Question

Capillary hydrostatic pressure during filtration is built in the glomerulus as
1 Point)
(a)size of Bowman's capsule is significantly large

(b)an afferent arteriole is narrow compared to efferent
(c)Bowman's capsule is cup-shaped
(d)an efferent arteriole is narrow compared to afferent
circulation. *​

Answer 1

An efferent arteriole is narrow compared to afferent circulation . *

Answer 2

Capillary hydrostatic pressure during filtration is built in the glomerulus as :

(d)an efferent arteriole is narrow compared to afferent circulation.

• Blood filtration that occurs in the kidney owes its efficiency to GFP/GHP i.e glomerular filtration pressure or glomerular hydrostatic pressure.
• The blood passes through from the glomerulus in the Bowman's capsule to the efferent blood vessels.
• Pressure is equal to force by area on which force is acting.
• Since the afferent vessels are much narrower compared to the significantly broader Bowman's capsule there is a pressure gradient formed.
• This pressure gradient helps to purify the flood in the nephrons if the kidney.
