Summary Introduction

To explain: The effect on the rate of the blood filtration in the Bowman’s capsule, when the blood pressure in the afferent arteriole leading to a glomerulus is decreased.

Concept introduction: The change in the blood pressure in the glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule is regulated by the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone system (RAAS). The secretion of this hormone in the juxtaglomerular apparatus causes the reabsorption of the water and ions in the kidney tubules. The enzyme renin is released in response to the decrease in the blood pressure around the afferent arterioles. The precursor angiotensinogen cleaves into angiotensin.
