Describe the effect of increasing the afferent radius on glomerular filtration rate and glomerular pressure. As the afferent radius increases the glomerular filtration rate and glomerular pressure both increase the pressure in slow steps the filtration rate greatly

is that isotonic urine flow subject is not necessarily isotonic creatinine concentration subject. The kidney’s load for this was either a hypotonic‚ isotonic‚ alkalotic‚ or no solution at all. Based on the data above‚ some hypothesis were validated and other were not. In both the hypotonic and isotonic‚ the urine flow of the subjects increased as expected. This was due to the volume of water that the subjects had to drink. The water load was large enough to increase volume of urine excreted to maintain
