Question

Hydrostatic pressure inside glomerular afferent arteriole is

• A. $+65mm$
• B. $+70mm$
• C. $+75mm$
• D. $+80mm$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $+75mm$

The arteriole which brings blood to glomerulus is called afferent arteriole and the arteriole which takes blood away from glomerulus is called as efferent arteriole. The glomerular afferent arteriole has a pressure of +75 mm Hg.

So, the correct answer is '+75 mm Hg".
