Question

describe the kidneys response to reduced filtration pressure

Answer 1

kidneys response to reduced filteration pressure.

When filteration pressure decreases there is alterations in the blood pressure and decreases.The Juxtaglomerular cells in the kidney release renin .Renin converts the angiotensinogen into angiotensinogen 1 and ACE convert then into angiotensin 2. Angiotensin 2 is a potent vasoconstrictor causes efferent arteriole to constrict and raise the glomerlular filtration rate which is directly proportional to filtration pressure and raises the Filtration pressure.
