the central nervous system provides the stimulus to speed the heart
rate and restore pressure?

e) none of the above
Describe the regulation of filtration in the nephron
(renal corpuscle) in response to blood pressure, nervous input,
hormones, and Tubuloglomerular Feedback. (Be sure to compare
activity at the afferent and efferent arterioles.)
