An obstruction in the afferent arteriole would reduce the flow of blood into the?
efferent arteriole]
What is the effect of constricted arterioles in the glomerular filtration rate?
Decreasing the diameter of the efferent arteriole would increase the hydrostatic pressure inside the glomerulus and effectively increase the glomerular filtration rate. If you increase the diameter of the afferent arteriole you would achieve the same effect.
Dilation of the afferent arteriole decrease GFR?
no, it would increase GFR constriction would decrease GFR
Would ocean temperature change cause earthquake?
Yes it would because of the cause of the seas strength
A very small tilt in Earth'sare axis would likely cause .?
That would most likely cause a very small change in the seasons.
What is the difference between afferent and efferent arteries?
Efferent arteries take blood away from an organ and afferent arteries bring blood to an organ.
An obstruction in the afferent arteriole would reduce the flow of blood into the?
efferent arteriole]
The efferent division of the peripheral nervous system innervates?
A muscle or a gland. Efferent fibers carry information away from the CNS to innervate tissues that perform functions; such as a gland, a smooth muscle, a skeletal muscle, or cardiac muscle. The antonym to efferent would be afferent.
Does the efferent system sends information from the brain to spinal cord throughout the body?
You are correct; efferent neurons carry impulses from your brain to/and spinal cord throughout the body. Efferent nerves, otherwise known as motor or effector neurons, carry nerve impulses away from the central nervous system to effectors (such as muscles or glands and also the ciliated cells of the inner ear).The term 'efferent' can also be used in more localized locations (though still in the nervous system). For example, a neuron's efferent synapse provides input to another neuron, and not vice-versa. Vice-versa would be afferent. (see below)The opposite of efferent neurons are afferent, which are neurons that carry impulses from the body back to the brain. An easy mnemonic: Efferent connections Exit. Afferent connections Arrive.Hope this helps!
What Three kinds of neutrons that would be involved in a reflex impulse?
They are neurons and not neutrons. You have afferent neuron. Then you have intermediate neuron and then you have the efferent neuron in the reflex arc.

An efferent nerve takes an impulse towards the brain?
The nerve that takes the impulses to the brain would be vagus.
What is the opposite of motor nerve?
A motor nerve falls under the category of efferent nerves, its opposite would be an afferent nerve, usually called a sensory nerve.
Can atomic neurons be sensory or afferent neurons?
I believe you mean autonomic neurons (part of the ANS) and yes, they can be sensory neurons. Sensory neurons are the same as afferent neurons--meaning they carry signals towards the CNS. Think as afferent as 'approaching'. Anyhow, these neurons sense the conditions of your visceral organs and whatnot. Other wise it would have no information to judge for what signals to send. So yes, autonomic neurons consist of both sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent) neurons.
What is the effect of constricted arterioles in the glomerular filtration rate?
Decreasing the diameter of the efferent arteriole would increase the hydrostatic pressure inside the glomerulus and effectively increase the glomerular filtration rate. If you increase the diameter of the afferent arteriole you would achieve the same effect.
What happens if the diameter of the efferent arteriole is constricted?
When the afferent arteriole is constricted it causes blood to be unable to flow into the glomerulus, overall decreasing hydrostatic pressure and causing the bowman's capsule to decrease filtration.
What is an example of an intersegmental reflex?
(¦in·tər·seg′ment·əl ′rē′fleks) (neuroscience) An unconditioned reflex arc connecting input and output by means of afferent pathways in the dorsal spinal roots and efferent pathways in the ventral spinal roots.An example of an intersegmental reflex would be; if some animal were to have a missing limb the other limbs would adjust to that missing limb (S-R).
