1
Q
draw glomerulus showing Glomerular Hydrostatic Pressure regulation areas
A
card IV.
2
Q
the nephron has its own ___ component to regulate pressure
A
endocrine
3
Q
What happens at the nephron level is the Glomerular filtration rate is too low?
A
incoming arterioles dilate and outgoing arterioles constrict to increase hydrostatic pressure
4
Q
How does the body control the Glomerular Filtration rate?
A
Glomerular Hydrostatic pressure
5
Q
What is the first thing that hapens if local regulation of the glomerular filtration rate does not work?
A
juxtaglomerular apparatus secretes renin
