Abstrak

3. Compare the relative diameters of the afferent and efferent arterioles and explain the significance in this size differential. The afferent arteriole is wider than the efferent arteriole which means that blood enters the glomerulus through a wider opening than the blood exiting the glomerulus, thus creating an increased “back pressure” (=hydrostatic filtration pressure). They hydrostatic pressure is higher in the glomerulus than in other capillaries. By varying the size of the afferent and/or arterioles, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) may be increased or decreased.
