Problem 2
Determine which of the following statements concerning extrinsic regulation of GFR is inaccurate.
A
High blood pressure stimulates the sympathetic nerve fibers to produce norepinephrine, which causes vasoconstriction.
B
Vasoconstriction of the afferent arterioles decreases GFR, thereby restoring blood volume and pressure to normal.
C
Low blood pressure causes the granular cells of the juxtaglomerular complex to release renin.
D
Renin activates Angiotensin II, which promotes vasoconstriction and hence raises blood pressure.
