A fall in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) activates

A

Juxta glomerular cells to releases renin

B

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
When there is a fall in glomerular filtration rate, it activates the juxta glomerular cells to release rennin. This stimulates the glomerular blood flow, there by bringing GFR back to normal Renin brings the GFR back to normal by the activation of rennin – angiotensinogen mechanism.
