outer cortex of cortical nephrons
glomeruli
dip only into outer medulla in cortical nephrons
short loops of henle
in inner cortex near medulla in juxtaglomerular nephrons
glomeruli
plunge into inner medulla in juxtaglomerular nephron s
long hoops of Henle
peritubular capill form hairpin vascular loops in juxtaglomerular nephrons
vasa recta
molecular sieve layers
glomerular capillary wall
basement membrane
inner layer of bowmans capsule
glomerular capillary wall
single layer of flattened endothelial cells
pores
basement membrane
gelatinous layer of collagen and glycoproteins
inner layer bowmans capsule consists of
podocytes with filtration slits
filtration is exclusively an — process
extracellular
driving forces of glomerular filtration
glomerular capillary blood pressure
plasma colloid osmotic pressure
bowmans capsule hydrostatic pressure
net filtration pressure
higher than capillary BP elsewhere
glomerular capillary blood pressure
55 mmHg
opposes filtration and inc osmotic pressure
plasma colloid osmotic pressure
30 mmHg
— arterioles is larger in diameter than — arteriole
afferent
efferent
pressure exerted by tubular fluid
bowmans capsule hydrostatic pressure
15mmhg
net filtration pressure
55 - (30+15) = 10 mmHg
depends on net filtration pressure
glomerular filtration rate
GFR depends also on
surface area and pressure
GFR =
filtration coefficient x net filtration pressure
— of plasma enter glomerulus is —
20& filtered
GFR of adult
115-125 ml/min
reduces blood flow to glomerulus and lowers GFr
increased resistance in afferent arterioles
prevents unintentional shifts in GFR
autoregulation
autoregulation by
myogenic mech
tubuloglomerular feedback
