Answer 2

Answer:

The diameter of the renal afferent vessel is larger as compared to that of the efferent vessel.

Explanation:

As the afferent arteriole is larger in diameter, more blood flows into the efferent arteriole, thereby resulting in an increase in blood pressure in the glomerulus.

The high pressure helps in the process of ultrafiltration by facilitating the movement of small molecules such as water, urea, uric acid, mineral salts, etc. through the glomerulus to the Bowman's capsule and finally into the nephron.
