Question

Which of the following conditions would increase glomerular filtration pressure?

1) decreased resistance of the efferent arterioles
2) increased protein in Bowman's space
3) increased resistance of the afferent arteriole
4) increased protein content in the blood
5) increased Bowman's capsule pressure

Answer 1

Decreased resistance of the efferent arterioles would increase glomerular filtration pressure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Glomerular filtration pressure is influenced by various factors. Among the options listed, the condition that would increase glomerular filtration pressure is a decreased resistance of the efferent arterioles. When the resistance of the efferent arterioles is decreased, blood flow from the glomerulus is reduced, leading to an increase in glomerular filtration pressure.
