Renal Physiology — Flashcards

In response to decreased Na+ delivery, the macula densa releases _____, which relaxes the afferent arterioles

Renal autoregulation is primarily controlled by changing _____ of the afferent arteriole

Renal blood flow (RBF) remains relatively constant between mean arterial pressure (MAP) ranges of _____ to 180 mmHg

The _____ pump in the luminal membrane of the alpha-intercalated cells is stimulated by aldosterone

Citrate is primarily reabsorbed in the _____ through Na+-citrate cotransport

_____ acts on renal fibroblasts to cause synthesis of the mRNA for erythropoietin

In the _____ of ADH, free-water clearance (CH2O) is negative

The _____ mechanism of renal autoregulation states that renal afferent arterioles contract in response to increased stretch on the arterial wall

Effective renal plasma flow may be estimated using the equation: eRPF = C_____ = [U]PAH * V / [P]PAH

The _____ cells of the late distal tubule and collecting duct reabsorb Na+ and H2O
