Question

Diameter of the renal afferent vessel is :

Options

1

Same as that of efferent

2

Smaller than that of efferent

3

Larger than that of efferent

4

There is no efferent vessel

​

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is (3) Larger than that of efferent.

Diameter of the renal afferent vessel is larger than the efferent vessel.

Explanation:

The efferent vessel carries blood away from the glomerulus and since it has a smaller diameter than the afferent vessel, it generates some sort of resistance to the flow of blood, thereby producing a back-up of blood in the glomerulus. This in turn gives rise to a higher pressure in the glomerular cavity.

Answer 2

Answer:

So the given question is the following:  

Diameter of the renal afferent vessel is what? So the answer for the given question is undoubtedly going to be as follows:

It is larger than efferent vessels. The reason behind this is that it washes away the blood from the glomeruqlus due to its narrow diameter which ultimately produces its overall backup.
