Document Summary

Renal autoregulation of gfr: mesangial control, mesangial cells contract to cause glomerular vasoconstriction, reducing surface area for filtration, myogenic regulation, smooth muscle cells in afferent arterioles respond to blood flow. Neural regulation of gfr: sympathetic neurons innervate afferent arterioles. Increased sympathetic activity (in the case of exercise) causes vasoconstriction gfr decreases: two consequences, reduced urine volume = conservation of blood volume, greater blood flow to other body tissues. Hormonal regulation of gfr: angiotensin ii: causes vasoconstriction in the afferent arterioles, decreasing gfr, atrial natriuretic peptide: causes relaxation of afferent arterioles and mesangial cells, increasing gfr. Tubular reabsorption: 99% of filtrate volume is reabsorbed, from apical membrane to basolateral membrane, transcellular reabsorption, paracellular reabsorption, mechanisms involved, primary active transport, secondary active transport (symporters/antiporters, osmosis of water. Tubular secretion: from blood to filtrate, secreted substances include: h+, k+, nh4+, creatinine, certain drugs, excess vitamins, two outcomes, control blood ph by secretion of h, eliminate excess or toxic substances.
