Glomerulonephritis, or inflammation of the glomerulus, will result leaky glomerular capillaries and damaged glomeruli, both which will cause the gfr to decrease. if gfr decreases, which mechanisms would be triggered to maintain the gfr? a. tubuloglomerular feedback and myogenic mechanism. b. raas and atrial natriuretic peptide. c. raas and myogenic mechanism. d. raas and tubuloglomerular feedback.

RAAS and tubuloglomerular feedback.

Explanation:

Kidney is  important organ of the body that performs the process of excretion. The kidney contains the millions of neurons that acts as the filtration unit.

In case of low glomerular filtration rate (GFR), the RAAS and tubuloglomerular feedback initiates in the body. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system increases the blood pressure and GFR rate by using the enzymes renin and angiotensin. The reabsorption of sodium chloride decreases and results in the increase of GFR in case of ubuloglomerular feedback mechanism.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

endo:

regulates body hormones, aldosterone, vasopressin

neural:

signal, regulates body using electric signals, reflex

endo has to do with hormones; aldosterone and vasopressin are both hormones. i also had this question and got it right : d
