Biology
Assertion (A): Efferent arteriole is wider than the afferent arteriole.
Reason (R): The difference in the size of the diameter of these arterioles creates a high pressure known as hydrostatic pressure. This pressure helps in the process of ultrafiltration through the glomerulus.
- Both A and R are True
- Both A and R are False
- A is True and R is False.
- A is False and R is True.
Answer
A is False and R is True
Explanation
Efferent arteriole is narrower than the afferent arteriole. The difference in the size of the diameter of these arterioles creates a high pressure known as hydrostatic pressure. This pressure helps in the process of ultrafiltration through the glomerulus.
