Renal blood flow and GFR- Hamra- 1/30-31/2013

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Normal GFR   180 L/day  
🗑
Oncotic pressure in the glomerulus rises faster in high or low flow?   Low  
🗑
As RBF increases, GFR   Increases  
🗑
Filtration fraction is higher at high or low flows?   Low flows  
🗑
Which factor dominates GFR changes in slight vasoconstriction?   Pgc  
🗑
Which factor dominates GFR changes in severe vasoconstriction?   Renal plasma flow  
🗑
Explain why the PTC's have a relatively high oncotic pressure   The fluid filtration out of the glomeruli leaves the proteins behind which increases the PCT oncotic pressure  
🗑
Explain why the PTCs have a relatively low hydrostatic pressure   The high resistance in the efferent arteriole means that the hydrostatic pressure downstream is lower than normal  
🗑
Autoregulation includes which two processes?   Myogenic response and Tubuloglomerular feeback  
🗑
The myogenic response responds to a stretch of smooth muscle with   An increase in constriction of the arteriolar smooth muscle  
🗑
Renal blood flow and GFR are help constant in which BP range   80-180 mmHg  
🗑
If the macula densa senses too much NaCl in the distal tubule, a signal is sent to   the afferent arteriole to constrict (via adenisine)  
🗑
As blood pressure increases, afferent arteriolar resistance   Increases  
🗑
A low dose of Dopamine causes   Vasodilation  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
