What three components make up the GFR? What is the net filtration pressure?
Glomerular hydrostatic pressure (60)
Bowman’s Capsule Pressure (-18)
Glomerular colloid osmotic Pressure (-32)
10
The Glomerular hydrostatic pressure is ____
(60)
Bowman’s Capsule Pressure is ___
(-18)
Glomerular colloid osmotic Pressure ____
(-32)
When the filtration coefficient is low, the GFR (increase/decreases)
decreases
kidney stones are a result of an (increased/decreased) bowman’s capsule pressure, and GFR (increases/decreases)
increased bowman’s capsule pressure
so GFR decreases
When the afferent arteriole dilates, what happens in terms of blood flow and GFR
increased blood flow, and GFR increases
Decreased GFR can be a result of what conditions?
less blood flow
lower filtration coefficient
kidney stones
CKD
HTN
Less blood flow is due to afferent (dilation/constriction) and/or efferent (dilation/constriction)
afferent constriction
efferent dilation
What two hormones decrease GFR?
norepinephrine and epinephrine
Sympathetic stimulation (increases/decreases) GFR
decreases
Renal artery pressure is the same as ?
systemic arterial pressure
resistance is determined by what 3 arterioles?
interlobULar
afferent/efferent
T/F: Kidneys regulate their own renal blood flow
TRUE
Angiotensin II ____ both afferent and efferent arterioles. Which one does it exert the greatest effect?
constricts
mainly EFFERENTS
Angiotensin II (increases/decreases) GFR and (increases/decreases) renal blood flow
increases GFR
decreases renal blood flow
what is the MOA for Ace inhibitors? What is the end result on BP and GFR?
prevent AT1 from converting to AT2
lowers BP and lowers GFR
The macula densa is most receptive to ____ concentration
sodium chloride
the macula densa controls ______ and _____
renal blood flow and GFR
Macula densa affects the (afferent/efferent/both) arterioles
both
If the macula densa senses low sodium, what happens?
it will dilate the afferent arterioles and release renin
if the afferant arterioles is dilated the GFR will be (higher/lower)
higher GFR

more sodium
more
What effect does renin have? Does the GFR increase or decrease
constricts Efferent arterioles
GFR increases
