Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Hydrostatic pressure in the Bowman’s capsule will work to decrease GFR.
Detailed explanation-2: -The diameter of afferent arteriole is larger than the efferent arteriole. This increases the volume of blood in glomerulus and increases the filtration rate. This causes the effective filtration pressure which is the total pressure that promotes filtration.
