Which of the following is FALSE regarding AUTO regulatory mechanism of the kidney that control glomerular filtration rate (GFR)?
Stretching of the afferent arteriole causes contraction of the smooth muscle cells in the afferent arteriole.
Increased GFR decreases Na+ and water reabsorption causing a higher concentration of both of Na+ and water in the distal convoluted tubule (DCT).
The macula densa cells in the DCT detect higher Na+ and water content.
Juxtagomerular cells (aka granular cells) release LESS nitric oxide (NO) causing afferent arteriole vasoconstriction.
The sympathetic nervous system constricts the afferent and efferent arteriole.
