18
Q

Filtration stops if GBHP drops below

A

44mmhg

19
Q

Volume of plasma that moves through kidneys per unit time

A

Renal plasma flow

20
Q

Fraction of renal plasma flow that becomes glomerular filtrate

A

Filtration fraction

21
Q

Amount of filtrate formed per minute in all renal corpuscles in both kidneys

A

Glomerular filtration rate

22
Q

Needed substances pass quickly through renal tubules and are lost in urine

A

GFR too high

23
Q

Metabolic wastes will not get filtered from blood into renal tubules

A

GFR too low

24
Q
  1. Renal autoregulation
  2. Neural regulation
  3. Hormonal regulation
A

3 mechanisms to maintain consisten GFR

25
Q
  • Lie b/w adjacent glomerular capillaries
  • control capillary diameter and rate of flow
A

Mesengial cells

26
Q
  • Specialized structure where distal convoluted tubule meets afferent arteriole
  • Regulate BP and filtration rate in glomerulus
A

Juxtaglomerular Apparatus

27
Q
  1. myogenic mechanism
  2. Tubuloglomerular feedback
A

Renal autoregulation types

28
Q

Stretch receptors in afferent arterioles respond to increased of decreased BP

A

Myogenic mechanism

29
Q

Smooth muscle of afferent arteriole constricts or dilates to increase/decrease GFR

A

Myogenic mechanism

30
Q
  • Uses juxtaglomerular apparatus
  • When BP increased GFR increase
  • When BP decrease GFR decrease
A

Tubuglomerular feedback

31
Q

Myogenic mechanism and tubularglomerular feedback. Which one faster?

A

Myogenic mechanisms

32
Q

At rest, not much ANS stimulation so which mechanism for glormerular filtration prevails

A

Renal autoregulation

33
Q

During fight or flight, ANS causes decrease in GFR, this is part of which mechanism

A

Neural regulation

34
Q

If blood pressure low sympathetic nervous system activated. Part of which mechanism

A

Neural regulation

35
Q
  • part of RAA system
  • Increased in response to renin
A

Angiotensin II

36
Q

Secreted by heart cells when blood in atria stretch walls

A

ANP (Atrial Natriuetic peptide)

37
Q

Angiotensin II and Atrial Natriutic peptide are part of which mechanism

A

Hormonal regulation

38
Q

Movement of solutes and water from renal tubules into blood

A

Reabsorption

39
Q

Reabsorption dominates and most reabsorption occurs here

A

Proximal convoluted tubule

40
Q

Lots of reabsorption, very little to no secretion

A

Nephron loop

41
Q
  • 15% of filtered H2O
  • in descending limb only
  • ascending limb impermeable to water
A

Nephron loop

42
Q
  • Fluid travelling very slowly, as 80% water reabsorbed
  • PTH acts here to reabsorb ca2+
A

Early distal convoluted tubule
