Q

T/F

Even though the filtrations membrane of the Glomerulus has fenestrations, it is functionaly similar to those of Sinusoidal capillaries.

A

False

The filtration membranes have fenestrations, but with the fused basement membrane/podocytes…this membrane acts similar to systemic capillary membranes.

Q
  • If the blood pressure within the [] arteriole becomes too great, this causes the wall of the blood vessel to []
  • Stretching of the afferent arteriole leads to the opening of [] [] in the vascular smooth muscle
  • This triggers [] of the SM withint the afferent arteriole, thus [] the resistance of the blood vessel.
A
  • If the blood pressure within the afferent arteriole becomes too great, this causes the wall of the blood vessel to stretch
  • Stretching of the afferent arteriole leads to the opening of calcium channels in the vascular smooth muscle
  • This triggers contraction of the SM within the afferent arteriole, thus increasing the resistance of the blood vessel.
17
Q

The myogenic response in the afferent arteriole aims to decreases GFR back to its [] level.

A

The myogenic response in the afferent arteriole aims to decreases GFR back to its normal level.

18
Q

Filtered load = []

A

Filtered load = GFR x Psolute​​

19
Q

[] feedback - process in which the nephron monitors the concentrations of sodium and chloride ions arriving at the junction of the TAL and DCT.

A

Tubuloglomerular Feedback

20
Q

Tubuloglomerular feedback - process in which the nephron monitors the concentrations of [] and [] ions arriving at the junction of the [] and [].

A

Tubuloglomerular feedback - process in which the nephron monitors the concentrations of sodium and chloride ions arriving at the junction of the TAL and DCT.

21
Q

The juxtaglomerular apparatus is composed of [] [] cells and [] cells.

A

macula densa cells and juxtaglomerular cells

22
Q

The macula densa cells are located at the junction of the [] and [], where they detect the arriving levels of [] and [] ions

A

The macula densa cells are located at the junction of the TAL and DCT, where they detect the arriving levels of sodium and chloride ions

23
Q

The juxtaglomerular cells are [] cells located in the [] arteriole.

A

The juxtaglomerular cells are contractile cells located in the afferent arteriole.

24
Q

[] in GFR –> [] [] cells of JGA detect [] delivery of Na+ and/or Cl- –> [] secretion of [] [] by JG cells –> [] arteriole constricts

A

Increase in GFR –> Macula Densa cells of JGA detect increase delivery of Na+ and/or Cl- –> Decreased secretion of nitric oxide by JG cells –> Afferent arteriole constricts

25
Q

What is the effect:

  • SNS-NE constricts mainly the afferent arteriole
  • [] RPF
  • [] GFR
A
  • SNS-NE constricts mainly the afferent arteriole
  • Decrease RPF
  • Decrease GFR
26
Q

What is the effect:

  • Angiotensin II - constricts both the afferent and efferent arterioles
  • [] RPF
  • [] GFR
A
  • Angiotensin II - constricts both the afferent and efferent arterioles
  • Decrease RPF
  • Decrease GFR, but a lesser decrease than RPF
27
Q

What is the effect:

  • Prostaglandins - dialtes afferent and efferent arterioles
  • [] RPF
  • []GFR
A
  • Prostaglandins - dialtes afferent and efferent arterioles
  • Increase RPF
  • May not change GFR - depends on the levels of prostaglandins.
