Question
**Question:** When GFR is high, which primary autoregulatory mechanism is triggered in the kidney? **Currently Selected:** C **Options:** A. Vasoconstriction of efferent arteriole B. Vasoconstriction of afferent arteriole C. Vasodilation of afferent arteriole D. Vasodilation of efferent arteriole **Explanation:** This question assesses the understanding of kidney autoregulation mechanisms. The selected option ("C. Vasodilation of afferent arteriole") implies expanding the blood vessel entering the kidney. This choice suggests that when the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is high, the afferent arteriole widens to regulate the pressure, although autoregulation typically involves the opposite response (vasoconstriction of the afferent arteriole) to reduce GFR. The context may need more analysis to confirm the scenario described.
