This document summarizes the results of a PhysioEx laboratory experiment that investigated the effect of arteriole radius on glomerular filtration rate. The experiment found that decreasing the radius of the afferent arteriole decreased glomerular pressure and filtration rate, while increasing it increased pressure and rate. Conversely, decreasing the efferent radius increased pressure and decreasing filtration rate, while increasing it decreased both. The student correctly answered all pre-lab, in-lab, and post-lab questions.
