Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The peculiar features of renal circulation-such as the renal arteries originating directly from the aorta, the glomerulo-capillary arangement , and differences in calibres of the afferent and efferent vessels- indicate that blood pressure is of great functional significance for the production of urine. The vascular component probably plays an important role in the filtration process.
