When the arterial blood pressure declines to 70/40 mm Hg,

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When arterial blood pressure declines to 70/40 mm Hg, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decreases. This is due to reduced blood flow and pressure in the glomerular capillaries, which affects the filtration rate in the kidneys. Diuresis (increased urine production), aldosterone secretion, and ADH secretion are all mechanisms that the body can use to attempt to maintain blood pressure levels, so they are not likely to decrease at this point.
