Select the correct statement:

Select the correct statement:

Options

  1. AAtrial Natriuretic Factor increases the blood pressure.
  2. BAngiotensin IIII is a powerful vasodilator.
  3. CCounter current pattern of blood flow is not observed in vasa recta.
  4. DReduction in Glomerular Filtration Rate activates JGJG cells to release renin.

Correct answer

D. Reduction in Glomerular Filtration Rate activates JGJG cells to release renin.

Step-by-step solution

The juxtaglomerular cells (JGCJGC) secretes an enzyme rennin in response to a variety of stimuli such as decreased flow of filtrate and NaClNaCl to macula densa, decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFRGFR), decreased stretch of JGCJGC, and increased frequency of nerve impulses in the renal sympathetic nerves.

Atrial Natriuretic Factor (ANFANF) decreases blood pressure as it is a powerful vasodilator.

Angiotensin IIII is a powerful vasoconstrictor.

The counter-current mechanism involves the exchange of water and electrolytes between blood flowing in vasa recta and filtrate in Loop of Henle.
