Intrinsic control of GFR,which is mediated by parasympathetic nervous system input to the efferent arterioles,is aimed at long-term regulation of arterial blood pressure.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intrinsic control of GFR is mainly mediated by autoregulation in the kidneys, which maintains a relatively constant filtration rate despite changes in systemic blood pressure. Parasympathetic nervous system input to the efferent arterioles does not have a significant role in the regulation of GFR or arterial blood pressure.
