In the myogenic mechanism of autoregulation,what is the response to an increase in blood pressure in the afferent arteriole?
A)constriction of the glomerulus
B)dilation of the afferent arteriole
C)dilation of the efferent arteriole
D)constriction of the afferent arteriole

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An increase in blood pressure in the afferent arteriole would cause the afferent arteriole to constrict, reducing the flow of blood into the glomerulus and decreasing the glomerular filtration rate. This myogenic response helps to maintain a constant glomerular filtration rate despite changes in blood pressure.
