Why increasing the size of the afferent arteriole increase volume of filtrate and rate filtration?

It increases the volume of blood at filtration site , increases the filtration gradient, and increases time of contact of blood with filtration site.

What makes up the renal portal system?
It is made up of the afferent arteriole which supplies blood to the kidneys. The glomerulus, which is the first capillary bed produces filtrate. The efferent arteriole takes blood from the kidneys. The peritubular capillary system, which is the second capillary bed reclaims most of the filtrate. Filtrate is what eventually becomes urine.
How high blood pressure built up in the glomerulus?
It builds up because the calibre of the efferent arteriole is less than that of the afferent arteriole. The cappilary pressure is opposed by the lower osmotic pressure or the blood and the lower filtrate hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capsule.
What is a filtrate in filtration?
A filtrate is the liquid that has passed through a filter.
What is the Liquid after filtration?
It is called the filtrate.
How Collect the filtrate?
Filtrate is collected in a recipient placed under the funnel or filtration apparatus.
What is the verb form of filtration?
The verb form of filtration is "filter."
What is the liquids collected after filtration?
It is called the filtrate.
Is the filtrate pure in the filtration of sand and water?
yes
The portion of the nephron receiving filtrate from the glomerular capsule?
proximal convoluted tubule
What is ultimately responsible for glomerular filtration?
Net filtration pressure responsible for forming renal filtrate.
What is the resulting substance after filtration?
Resulting substance that goes down after filtration is the filtrate and the one that remains on the filter is residue.
The amount of filtrate produced per minute is called the?
filtration fraction
