Blood pressure transmitted from the systemic arteries through the afferent arteriole to the glomerular capillaries is a driving force for the process of filtration that forms filtrate in kidney nephrons. glomerular filtration rate (gfr) can remain remarkably steady at about 125 milliliters per minute despite modest changes in arterial blood pressure. which of the following steps is part of the kidney's response that maintains a steady gfr in the face of a decrease in arterial blood pressure? group of answer choices

smooth muscle in afferent arterioles contracts more strongly.

resistance to blood flow in afferent arterioles increases.

glomerular osmotic pressure decreases.

afferent arterioles dilate to some extent.

blood pressure in glomerular capillaries falls.
