2 Which of the following lists the anatomical structures in the correct order as they are encountered by
the blood itself during the process of filtration?

Predict Questions
1 Predict Question 1: What will happen to the glomerular capillary pressure and filtration rate if you
decrease the radius of the afferent arteriole?
2 Predict Question 2: What will happen to the glomerular capillary pressure and filtration rate if you
increase the radius of the afferent arteriole?
3 Predict Question 3: What will happen to the glomerular capillary pressure and filtration rate if you
decrease the radius of the efferent arteriole?
Your answer: Both pressure and filtration rate will increase.
2 When you are in the desert and dehydrating, which of the following arteriole combinations would
benefit you the most?

1 If you increase the afferent arteriole radius and keep all other variables constant, the glomerular
filtration rate would
2 If you decrease the efferent arteriole radius and keep all other variables constant, the volume of urine
flowing into the urinary bladder would
3 If you increase the efferent arteriole radius and keep all other variables constant, the glomerular
filtration rate would
Your answer:
Your answer:
1. Cápsula de Browman,
2. Glomérulo.
3 Starting with the renal corpuscle, list the components of the renal tubule as they are encountered by
filtrate.
Your answer:
4 Describe the effect of decreasing the afferent arteriole radius on glomerular capillary pressure and
filtration rate. How well did the results compare with your prediction?
Your answer:
Si se disminuye la presión capilar glomerular y la tasa de filtración se disminuye a la vez que el radio
de la arteriola aferente y por lo tanto es proporcional. Mi predicción es correcta.
5 Describe the effect of increasing the afferent arteriole radius on glomerular capillary pressure and
filtration rate. How well did the results compare with your prediction?
Your answer:
Your answer:
El efecto de la disminución del radio de la arteriola eferente sobre la presión capilar glomerular y la
tasa de filtración, es inversamente proporcional porque van a tener los mismos cambios al
disminuirse.
7 Describe the effect of increasing the efferent radius on glomerular capillary pressure and filtration
rate.
Your answer:
