Q

In vascular smooth muscle, when afferent arteriole is stretched (pressure rises) it will contract to regulate GFR and when it doesn’t stretch (pressure drops) the muscle relaxes

Q

Directed by macula dense cells of Juxtaglomerular complex

A

Intrinsic: Tubuloglomerular Feedback Regulation

34
Q

When GFR increases, there is not enough time for reabsorption and the concentration of filtrate remains high. Macula densa sense high levels of NaCl and…

A

Release vasoconstrictor chemicals to constrict afferent arteriole, reducing blood flow into glomerulus.

35
Q

What happens when LOW FILTRATE FLOW and NaCl concentration is detected to be low in ascending loops’ macula densa cells?

A

Tubuloglomerular regulation senses signals to DILATE afferent arteriole to INCREASE GFR, then RENIN is released by JG cells to raise BP

36
Q

Angiotensin II causes what

A

-Decrease efferent arteriole diameter (constricts)
-Decrease bloow flow out of glomerulus
-Increase HPgc
-Increase GFR

36
Q

Angiotensin II causes what

A

-Decrease efferent arteriole diameter (constricts)
-Decrease bloow flow out of glomerulus
-Increase HPgc
-Increase GFR

37
Q

a corticosteroid hormone which stimulates Na+ absorption of sodium by the kidneys and so regulates water and salt balance which then increases BP

A

Aldosterone

38
Q

Once MAP drops below 80 mmHg kidneys, what kind of regulation takes over?

A

Extrinsic regulation; RAA or sympathetic

39
Q

Effects of macula densa releasing vasoconstrictor:

A

-GFR decreases
-Tubular filtrate flow slows
-Reabsorption of sodium and chloride ions increase bc they have more time

40
Q

Effects of macula densa releasing vasoconstrictor:

A

-GFR decreases
-Tubular filtrate flow slows
-Reabsorption of sodium and chloride ions increase bc they have more time

41
Q

What does the macula densa do?

A

Monitors filtrate concentration autoregulates itself

42
Q

What are the extrinsic controls for regulation?

A

Neural (sympathetic nervous system)
Hormonal (RAA system)

43
Q

When blood pressure falls, sympathetic nerve fibers release _____ to cause vascular smooth muscles to constrict, increasing peripheral resistance and bringing blood pressure back to normal

A

Norepinephrine + Epinephrine (released by adrenal gland)`

44
Q

Are baroreceptors a part of intrinsic or extrinsic renal regulation?

A

Extrinsic sympathetic nervous system controls

45
Q

3 pathways to stimulate granular cells to release renin

A
  1. Symp. nervous system barocreceptors to release renin
  2. Activated macula densa cells
  3. Mechanoreceptors detect stretch (v MAP, more renin)
46
Q

The slower the GFR the _______ the concentration of filtrate

A

Lower the concentration of filtrate

47
Q

The faster the GFR the ________ the concentration of filtrate

A

Higher concentration of filtrate (less time to filter reabsorb)

48
Q

Permeable to water, not salt
Water leaves the tubule + becomes more concentrated

A

Descending loop of henle

49
Q

Impermeable to water, pumps out salt to space around tubule
Na+, Cl-, K+

A

Ascending loop of henle

50
Q

If theres an increase is ADH, what happens to the collecting duct

A

Higher permeability to water:
Then higher concentration of urine:
Then volume of urine decrease:
Then increase bld. vol. + pressure

51
Q

If theres a decrease is ADH, what happens to the collecting duct

A

Lower permeability to water:
More dilute urine:
Then vol. urine increases:
