Question

This is how ultra filtration carried out in the glomerulous.

• A. Juxtaglomerular cells to remove renin
• B. Adrenal cortex to release aldosterone
• C. Adrenal medulla to release adrenaline
• D. Posterior pituitary to release vasopressin

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

The correct options are
A Juxtaglomerular cells to remove renin
D Posterior pituitary to release vasopressin

Hydrostatic pressure is increased by making the lumen of the afferent arteriole more and narrowing the lumen of the efferent arteriole . So clearly as the blood gushes in from the renal artery and when spread over a wide web of fine capillaries and the exit blood vessel being made deliberately narrow, it creates a huge hydrostatic pressure on the glomerulus forcing ultrafiltration of the blood to take place.
