overestimate
moderately secreted by renal tubules

slightly underestimates

AT II
what does constricting the efferent arteriole do?
decreases RPF, increases GFR, increases FF
how does ureter constriction affect GFR?
decreases it

inhibits Na/PO4 cotransport PO4 excretion increases Ca/Na exchange Ca reabsorbtion proximal converluted tubule, distal converluted tubule
What does ATII do in the kidney and where does it act?
stimulates Na/H, increases Na, H2O and HCO3- reabsorbtion
proximal converluted tubule
