93
Q

Macula densa feedback loop

A

increase GFR –> increase in flow to the tubule –> flow past the macula densa increases –> paracrine factors from macula densa are secreted –> paracrine factors act on afferent arteriole –> afferent arteriole constricts –> resistance in afferent arteriole increases –> hydrostatic pressure drops in glomerulus (PGC) –> GFR decreases

  • bulk flow from interstitial fluid into peritubular capillaries
110
Q

Reabsorption of glucose

A
  • clearance of glucose is zero
