Renal Flashcards
Nephron with glomeruli located in
Outer cortex of kidney
Exretion rate (ER) =
(filtration rate - reabsorption rate) + secretion rate
Essential HT increases renal artery P leading to
Vasoconstriction of afferent
Vasodilation of efferent
Constriction of efferent a causes
Increase Glomerular Cap P
Decrease Peritubular Cap P
Decrease Nephron Plasma flow
Dilation of efferent A causes
Decrease Glomerular Cap P
Increase Peritubular Cap P
Increase Nephron Plasma Flow
Constriction of afferent A causes
Decrease Glomerular Cap P
Decrease Peritubular Cap P
Decrease Nephron Plasma flow
Dilation of afferent A causes
Increase Glomerular Cap P
Increase Peritubular Cap P
Increase Nephron Plasma flow
Normal GFR is
120 mL/min
Normal RPF is
600 mL/min
Filtration Fraction (FF)=
GFR/RPF
120/600
.20 or 20%
The greater FF the…
The higher the oncotic pressure in the peritubular capillaries
Afferent contriction affect on GFR, RPF, FF, and Glomerular filtration pressure
- GFR: Decrease
- RPF: Decrease
- FF: Normal
- glomerular filtration P: Decrease
Efferent constriction affect on GFR, RPF, FF, and Glomerular Filtration P
- GFR: Increase
- RPF: Decrease
- FF: Increase
- Glomerular Filtration P: Increase
Affect of Angtiotensin 2 on arterioles
Constricts both afferent and efferent but has a bigger effect on efferent
What are the consequences of Angiotensin 2
- Decrease RPF
- Increase GFR
- Increase FF
- Increase forces promoting reabsorption in the peritubular capillaries
