Lec 29 Flashcards
GFR is — over wide range of –
constant over raange of BP
GFR is regulated by —-
regulationg renal blood flow
autoregulation
constant GFR when MAP is between 80 and 180
regulate blood flow into glomerulus by
Vasoconstriction and vasodilation of afferent arteriole
Vasoconstriction of efferent arteriole
minimal leave
blood pulls in glomerulus
increase Ph
GFR increase
Vasoconstriction of afferent arteriole
less blood entering glomerulus
decrease Ph
decrease GFR
Vasodilation of afferent arteriole
more blood entering glomerulus
increase ph
icrease GFR
mechansim of autoregulation
1-myogenic response to changes in BP
2-vasoconstriction afferent arteriole
3- tubuloglomerular feedback
myogenic response to changes in BP:
1- intrinsic ability of vascular smooth muscle
2- stretch due to increased pressure causes vasoconstriction
stretch due to increased pressure causes vasoconstriction, how
1- stretch-activated cation channels on vascular smooth muscle
2- depolarization lead to smooth muscle contraction
tubuloglomerular feedback
paracrine signalling
- occurs at the juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA)
- Macula densa: specialized cell in ascending tubule sensing flow
JGA
region where ascending limb loop of henle passes between afferent and efferent arterioles
macula densa function
sense increase flow due to high GFR
release paracrine
paracrine act on afferent arteriole
Vasoconstriction
granular cells
secrete renin, enzyme involve in salt and water balance
tubuloglomerular feedback
gfr increase
flow through tubule increase
flow past macula densa increase
paracrine from macula densa on afferent arteriole
Vasoconstriction
resistance increase
hydrostatic pressure decrease
gfr decrease
