Use the mouse to highlight the answers. They are written in white.
Question | Answer | Link |
What are the three layers of glomerular filtration barrier? |
|
Link |
Which of the three layers is the major barrier to protein? |
Glomerular Basement Membrane |
Link |
Which Factors Determine Selective Filtration? |
|
Link |
Substances which are filtered at the same levels as plasma are described at being filtered at what level? |
Isotonic |
Link |
Define Glomerular Filtration Rate. | The glomerular filtration or GFR is the amount of fluid filtered from the capillaries into the Bowmans capsule per unit time. | Link |
By which formula can GFR be expressed? | GFR = Kf x net filtration pressure | Link |
What determines renal blood flow and capillary hydrostatic pressure? | Arterial blood pressure coupled with the contraction of both the afferent and efferent arterioles | Link |
Why is it important that the constriction of the afferent and efferant arterioles changes with blood pressure? | To maintain renal blood flow | Link |
What effect does contracting the afferant arteriole have on filtration pressure? | Reduces filtration pressure | Link |
What are the two mechanisms for pressure autoregulation? |
|
Link |
Which mechanism works by responding to increased stretch in the arterioles by constricting them to a smaller diameter? | The Myogenic Response | Link |
Which structure in the wall of the distal tubule detects an increase in NaCl when blood pressure increases? | The Macula Densa | Link |
What is the effect of increased sympathetic activity on the kidneys? |
|
Link |
What is Renal Clearance? |
Renal clearance is the ability of the kidney to remove a compound from the blood |
Link |
What other methods of clearance from the body apart from renal are there? |
|
Link |
For the renal clearance of a substance to represent the GFR which two things must not happen to it as it moves along the nephron? |
It must not be reabsorbed or further secreted |
Link |
Name three compounds which can be used to measure GFR from Renal clearance. |
|
