Question

Which one increases glomerular pressure?

• A. Renin
• B. Angiotensin
• C. Aldosterone
• D. ADH

Answer 1

The correct option is B Angiotensin

• Angiotensin is a polypeptide that narrow blood vessels and thus regulates arterial pressure.
• Angiotensin not only constricts blood vessels all over the body in order to increase systemic blood pressure, but it also works in the kidneys in order to maintain blood pressure in the glomerulus(glomerular pressure) so that the glomerular filtration rate stays normal even in the condition when blood pressure is low. Hence, angiotensin increases glomerular pressure.

So, the correct answer is 'angiotensin'.
