Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The filtration of the plasma per unit of time is known as the GFR, which is directly related to the perfusion pressure of the glomerular capillaries. The filtration of the plasma per unit of time is not associated with the oncotic pressure of the glomerular capillaries, the vascular resistance in the glomerular arterioles, or the hydrostatic pressure in the Bowman's capsule.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The renin-angiotensin system is activated by decreased blood pressure. Activation of the ren-in-angiotensin system is not associated with the increased blood volume, elevated sodium levels, or renal hypertension.
