Question:

Which of the following best describes the sympathetic pathway's effect on the glomerulus in the kidney?

Updated On: Apr 24, 2024
  • Sympathetic stimulation causes vasodilation of the afferent arteriole increasing glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
  • Sympathetic stimulation causes vasoconstriction of the afferent arteriole, decreasing glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
  • Sympathetic stimulation has no effect on the glomerulus
  • Sympathetic stimulation causes vasodilation of the efferent arteriole decreasing glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
