pelvic- baroreceptors- senses stretch
what regions do nerves come out of that innervate bladder and urethral muscles
sacral and thoracic region
how does empty bladder signaling work
baroreceptors signal slowly which causes beta 3 to neutralize contraction and alpha 1 to constrict internal sphincter for urine to collect- m3 is also inhibited in bladder to stop contraction and nicotinic signals external sphincter to constrict
what receptor neutralizes contraction of the bladder
Beta 3
full bladder signaling
stretched bladder activates baroreceptors on pelvic sensory nerve which goes to pons (micturition center) which signals m3 (detrusor muscle to constrict), beta 3 is inhibited to bladder can constrict, alpha 1 is inhibited so internal sphincter can relax, and pudendal signals external sphincter to relax and let urine out

no- changes because of ghp and gcop
what has most significant/important effect on gfr
GHP
what can influence bchp beside gcop and ghp
obstruction- stones, bph (urine backs all the up into bowman’s pressure which increases pressure)
what influences glomerular hydrostatic pressure
arterial pressure, afferent/efferent arteriole resistance
what does increased afferent arteriole resistance do to ghp
decreased ghp thus decreasing gfr
decreased flow
when efferent arteriole resistance is increased what happens
fluid backs up, increasing ghp and gfr
where does angiotensin II constrict
efferent arteriole- backs up blood so ghp and gfr increase
what does increased ghp cause
increased GFR
what does kidney need a lot of oxygen/atp for
tubular reabsorption of sodium (active transport)
can you decrease renal blood flow and increase gfr
yes- constriction of efferent arterioles by angiotensin II
kidney consumes o2 at _____________ rate of brain but receives ______________ times the blood flow
twice
7
how much cardiac output goes to kidney
22%
what does sns do to gfr
vasoconstriction= increased resistance, decreased renal blood flow so decreased gfr
what does angiotensin II do to arterioles
increases efferent arteriole resistance, which backs blood up in glomerulus
overall what does angiotensin II to do gfr
holds at normal- since angiotensin II is indirectly released by renin (which is only released with low blood pressure) the gfr would already be low. So angiotensin II raises gfr but gfr was already low to begin with so it brings it to normal
how do prostaglandins/nitric oxide affect gfr
decreases resistance= increased blood flow= increased gfr/renal blood flow
how does ibuprofen affect kidneys
blocks prostaglandins- so afferent and efferent arterioles are not as dilate= decreased gfr
what is auto-regulator to stop complete vasoconstriction
endothelial derived nitric oxide
nitric oxide
vasodilator
makes o2 more soluble
how does endothelin impact gfr
decreases it by vasoconstriction (increased resistance)
what are autoregulation control of gfr/renal blood flow
myogenic mechanism- increase bp=increase calcium=increased contraction=increased increased resistance= decreased flow/gfr
macula densa feedback=
angiotensin II=
myogenic autoregulation
increase bp=increase calcium=increased contraction=increased increased resistance= decreased flow/gfr
where is macula densa

what makes renin
juxtaglomerular cells
what cells line distal tubule
macula densa- come close to afferent and efferent arterioles
what does macula densa measure
sodium and chloride in distal tubule (which is urine)
when sodium chloride is decreased in macula densa, what happens
decreases afferent arterial resistance so more blood gets into glomerulus to filter more sodium/chloride out
what does low gfr cause sodium to be in distal tubule, low or high
low
more gets absorbed
how does angiotensis II affect GFR
decreased gfr= low macula densa nacl= increases renin= angiotensin II= increases efferent arteriole resistance= raises GFR
