Q. Which of the following statement is correct about regulation of kidney function?

The functioning of kidneys is effectively monitored and regulated by juxta-glomerular apparatus only

An excessive loss of fluid from the body can activate the osmoreceptors of medulla to release vasopressin or ADH

Angiotensinogen is a powerful vasoconstrictor, which increases the glomerular blood pressure as well as GFR

An increase in blood flow to the atria of the heart can cause the release of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) to decrease blood pressure

Correct answer is (d) An increase in blood flow to the atria of the heart can cause the release of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) to decrease blood pressure
