Q

normal value for GFR

A

125 L/min

28
Q

hydrostatic pressure, usually 60 mm Hg

A

Pgc

29
Q

increases blood flow resistance, decreases renal blood flow, and decreases glomerular capillary pressure

A

afferent arteriole constriction

30
Q

increases glomerular capillary pressure, increases renal blood flow, increases peritubular capillary pressure

A

afferent arteriole dilation

31
Q

increases blood flow resistance and glomerular capillary pressure, net increase in GFR, decrease RBF

A

efferent constriction

32
Q

decreases glomerular capillary pressure, increases RBF

A

efferent dilation

33
Q

automatically adjusts resistance of afferent arteriole, contracts in response to increased blood pressure

A

myogenic response

34
Q

mediated by macula densa at end of ascending limb of loop of Henle, senses change in NaCl through Na/K/Cl, releases adenosine for constriction

A

tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism

35
Q

structural support, modulates glomerular filtration, phagocytic activity, paracrine substances

A

intraglomerular mesangial cells

36
Q

near vascular pole and macula densa, produce renin

A

extraglomerular mesangial cells

37
Q
  1. increased sympathetic nerve activity
  2. decreased renal blood perfusion
  3. decreased sodium to macula densa
A

activate release of renin

38
Q
  1. arteriolar vasoconstriction
  2. sodium and water retention
  3. aldosterone secretion
  4. negative feedback, inhibits renin secretion
A

angiotensin II produces these responses

39
Q

systemic arteriolar dilation, decreased sodium and water reabsorption, decreased aldosterone secretion

A

ACE inhibitor

40
Q

maintains plasma calcium by intestinal, renal, and bone reabsorption of calcium

A

vitamin D

41
Q

stimulated by hypoxia, anemia, and decreased renal blood flow

A

EPO production

42
Q

osmoreceptors signal hypothalamus to secrete this, which stimulates water reabsorption to decrease ECF osmolarity and concentrate urine

A

ADH (vasopressin)

43
Q

de novo synthesis of glutathione, stimulates amino acid trasnport into the cell

A

gamma glutamyl cycle

44

46
Q

glutamate (glutamate dehydrogenase and transaminases), glutamine (carries 2 amino groups)

A

precursors of nitrogen in urea

47
Q
