This occurs when stretching triggers contraction of smooth muscle walls in afferent arterioles.
A)glomerular filtration rate
B)tubulomerular feedback
C)myogenic mechanism
D)renal autoregulation
E)capsular hydrostatic pressure

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is referring to the myogenic mechanism, which occurs in response to changes in pressure within the afferent arterioles. When the walls of the arterioles are stretched, smooth muscle cells contract, leading to vasoconstriction and a decrease in glomerular filtration rate. This response helps maintain a constant blood flow to the glomerulus despite changes in systemic blood pressure.
