A drop in the systematic blood pressure would cause the filtration rate to:a. stay the sameb. decreasec. increase
A
B.
B
Blank
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glomerular filtration is occurs due to the pressure gradient in the glomerulus. Increased blood volume and increased blood pressure will increase GFR. Constriction in the afferent arterioles going into the glomerulus and dilation of the efferent arterioles coming out of the glomerulus will decrease GFR.

Detailed explanation-2: -Increases in the glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure cause increases in net filtration pressure and GFR. However, increases in Bowman space hydrostatic pressure causes decreases in filtration pressure and GFR.

Detailed explanation-3: -High blood pressure can constrict and narrow the blood vessels in your kidneys, which reduces blood flow and stops the kidneys from working well. When this happens, the kidneys are not able to remove all wastes and extra fluid from your body.
