Control of Glomerular Filtration Rate

Question
Answer
What are 2 determinants of GFR?   MAP, AFFERENT Arteriole diameter  
🗑
How would increased Sympathetic activity affect GFR?   Increase Sympathetic --> Vasoconstriction --> DECREASE GFR --> decrease Urine Output  
🗑
How would decreased Symapathetic activity affect GFR?   decrease Sympathetic --> Vasodilation --> INCREASE GFR --> increase Urine Output  
🗑
What effect would Hemorage have on GFR and why?   decrease Pressure --> decrease GFR --> conserve H2O and restore Blood volume  
🗑
How do Epinephrine and Renin affect GFR?   Vasoconstricting agents - constrict --> DECREASE GFR  
🗑
Where does Epinephrine come from?   Adrenal Medulla  
🗑
Where does Renin come from?   secreted by the cells of the Juxtaglomerular Complex  
🗑
What effect do vasodilating agents have on GFR? give an example.   dilate --> ^ GFR --> ^ UO  
🗑
What 3 factors influence Afferent Arteriole diameter?   relative Sympathetic activity, Vasoconstricting agents, Vasodilating agents  
🗑
How does age affect GFR?   DECREASE GFR - because of Atherosclerosis  
🗑
How are BP and GFR correlated?   ^ BP --> ^ GFR and decrease BP --> decrease GFR  
🗑
How is GFR measured?   Liters filtered per day - average 93 mm Hg  
🗑
Where does MAP affect GFR?   Global - from the whole body  
🗑
Where doe Afferent Arteriole diameter affect GFR?   Local = best - affect GFR moment to moment  
🗑


   

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.
