Which of the following is false about the GFR?
a. The GFR averages about 120 ml/min
b. The GFR increases when the afferent arteriole dilates
c. The GFR decreases when the efferent arteriole constricts
d. The GFR decreases when the afferent arteriole constricts

Understand the concept of GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate): GFR is the rate at which the kidneys filter blood through the glomeruli, typically measured in milliliters per minute (ml/min). It is influenced by factors such as blood pressure and the diameter of the afferent and efferent arterioles.
Review the role of the afferent arteriole: The afferent arteriole brings blood into the glomerulus. When it dilates, more blood flows into the glomerulus, increasing the GFR. Conversely, when it constricts, less blood enters the glomerulus, decreasing the GFR.
Review the role of the efferent arteriole: The efferent arteriole carries blood away from the glomerulus. When it constricts, it increases the pressure within the glomerulus, which can increase the GFR. If it dilates, the pressure decreases, lowering the GFR.
Analyze each option: a) The GFR averages about 120 ml/min is true for a healthy adult. b) The GFR increases when the afferent arteriole dilates is true because more blood enters the glomerulus. c) The GFR decreases when the efferent arteriole constricts is false because constriction of the efferent arteriole increases glomerular pressure and GFR. d) The GFR decreases when the afferent arteriole constricts is true because less blood enters the glomerulus.
Conclude that the false statement is option c, as the GFR does not decrease when the efferent arteriole constricts; instead, it increases due to higher glomerular pressure.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)

GFR is a measure of how much blood is filtered by the glomeruli in the kidneys per minute, typically averaging around 120 ml/min in healthy adults. It is a crucial indicator of kidney function, reflecting the kidneys' ability to filter waste and excess substances from the blood.

Glomerular Filtration Rate

Afferent and Efferent Arterioles

The afferent arteriole supplies blood to the glomerulus, while the efferent arteriole carries blood away. Dilation of the afferent arteriole increases blood flow into the glomerulus, potentially increasing GFR, whereas constriction of the efferent arteriole can increase pressure in the glomerulus, also affecting GFR.

Arteriolar Diameter and GFR

Regulation of GFR

GFR is regulated by various factors, including blood pressure and the diameter of the afferent and efferent arterioles. Constriction of the afferent arteriole reduces blood flow into the glomerulus, leading to a decrease in GFR, while constriction of the efferent arteriole can increase GFR by maintaining glomerular pressure.
