In the glomerulus of the nephron, the afferent arteriole is |
|||
|
a) |
Narrower than efferent arteriole |
b) |
Wider than efferent arteriole |
|
c) |
Of some diameter as efferent arteriole |
d) |
Of same diameter as vasa-recta |

(b)
The efferent arteriole is narrower as compared to afferent arteriole, hence a hydrostatic pressure develops in the glomerulus, which forces a large amount of water, entire glucose, all amino acid, urea, and salts of sodium potassium out of the glomerulus into the Bowman’s capsule
