Which structural feature mainly creates the high hydrostatic pressure in glomerular capillaries?
Correct answer C. The efferent arteriole is narrower than the afferent arteriole
Explanation
Blood enters the glomerulus through a wide afferent arteriole and leaves through a narrower efferent arteriole. This resistance to outflow builds up pressure that drives filtration.
