What is the relationship between HPg (Hydrostatic Pressure in the glomerulus) and NFP (Net Filtration Pressure)?
What is the relationship between HPg (Hydrostatic Pressure in the glomerulus) and NFP (Net Filtration Pressure)?
- The relationship is inverse, as an increase in HPg leads to a decrease in NFP. (correct)
