Question:
Which of the following best describes the sympathetic pathway's effect on the glomerulus in the kidney?
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)
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The correct option is (B):Sympathetic stimulation causes vasoconstriction of the afferent arteriole, decreasing glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
