Which of the following events would increase filtration pressure?
A) Increase in capsular pressure
B) Constriction of the efferent arteriole
C) Increase in colloid osmotic pressure
D) Decrease in renal blood flow
E) Dilation of the efferent arteriole

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Constriction of the efferent arteriole increases filtration pressure by raising the hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capillaries, as blood is 'backed up' due to the narrowed exit, enhancing the filtration process.
