Changes in mean arterial pressure have the potential to alter glomerular filtration rate by directly altering which of the following?
A)efferent arteriole resistance
B)glomerular oncotic pressure
C)glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure
D)Bowman's capsule hydrostatic pressure
E)Bowman's capsule oncotic pressure

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Changes in mean arterial pressure can directly affect the glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure, which is a primary determinant of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). An increase in mean arterial pressure typically increases glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure, thereby increasing GFR, and vice versa.
