Neural control of GFR is mediated by Sympathetic neurons that innervate alpha receptors on vascular smooth muscle causing Vasoconstriction.
<h3>How is GFR regulated?</h3>
- The sympathetic division of the nervous system regulates the GFR or Glomerular Filtration Rate.
- GFR is the sum total of filtration rates of all the working nephrons in the kidney.
- Sympathetic division comes into action when the mean arterial pressure is very low (below 80mmHg).
- In response to low blood pressure, the medulla releases norepinephrine through sympathetic nerves.
- Norepinephrine leads to activation of alpha receptors on arteries which cause vasoconstriction.
- Alpha receptors are more abundant on afferent arterioles.
- This leads to vasoconstriction (narrowing) of arteries supplying to the glomerulus.
- This decreases blood flow to glomerulus, leading to decrease in GFR.

Answer: The right side of the brain controls the left side of the body and vice versa So if damage occurs on the right side of the brain that controls the movement of the arm, the left arm may be weak or paralyzed.

Adhesion is the force of attraction between two dissimilar molecules or substances, and Cohesion is the force of attraction between two similar substances or molecules. An example for adhesion is the force of attraction lying between the walls of xylem vessels and the water molecules, and an <span>example for the cohesion forces is the force of attraction between the water molecules.</span>
