B7 L2 Flashcards
Creatinine
byproduct of muscle metabolism
determine GFR
Filtered Load
amount of solute that enters tubular fluid
Excretion
filtered load + secretion - reabsorption
Excretion > Filtered Load
secretion had to occur
Excretion < Filtered Load
reabsorption had to occur
Excretion = Filtered Load
no net transport
Control of Renal Blood Flow
Autoregulation
Myogenic Response
smooth muscle
reacts to blood flow and pressure changes
Tubuglomelur Feedback
nephron senses its own flow (GFR) and adjusts RBF accordingly
RAAS System
Renin released from kidney
causes increase body BP
Norepinephrine and Epinephrine
constrict afferent and efferent in times of high SNS stim
shuts down kidney to preserve heart brain
Nitric Oxide
vasodilator
counteracts Ang2 effect on afferent
Prostaglandins
vasodilators
counteracts Ang2 effect on afferent
