Questions and Answers

What is the range of systolic arterial pressure at which RBF remains stable?

  • 90 to 180 mmHg (correct)
  • 80 to 150 mmHg
  • 60 to 120 mmHg
  • 100 to 200 mmHg

What is the primary function of the autoregulation mechanism in the kidneys?

  • To increase blood pressure
  • To maintain delivery of oxygen and nutrients at a normal level (correct)

  • To increase GFR

What happens to the afferent arterioles when systemic blood pressure increases?

  • They are obliterated
  • They dilate
  • They remain the same
