If damage to the glomerular capillaries resulted in significantly enlarged capillary pores in the endothelial lining,GFR would decrease.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Significantly enlarged capillary pores in the endothelial lining would increase GFR, not decrease it. The larger pores would allow more filtration of fluid and solutes into the glomerular capsule, increasing GFR. Damage to the glomerular capillaries that decreased their permeability, on the other hand, would reduce GFR.
