GFR Regulation • Myogenic response • Similar to autoregulation in other systemic arterioles • When smooth muscle in wall of arteriole stretches, stretch-sensitive ion channels open, and the muscle cells contract. Vasoconstiction increases resistance and slows flow. This keeps GFR constant. • Tubuloglomerular feedback • Hormones and autonomic neurons • By changing resistance in arterioles (sympathetic stimulation causes vasoconstriction) • By altering the filtration coefficient
Juxtaglomerular Apparatus Figure 19-9
Tubuloglomerular Feedback Distal tubule Efferent arteriole Glomerulus Bowman’s capsule GFR increases. 1 Proximal tubule Macula densa 2 Flow through tubule increases. 4 1 5 3 Flow past macula densa increases. Afferent arteriole Granular cells 3 2 2 4 Paracrine diffuses from macula densa to afferent arteriole. 5 Afferent arteriole constricts. Resistance in afferent arteriole increases. Collecting duct Hydrostatic pressure in glomerulus decreases. Loop of Henle GFR decreases. PLAY Animation: Urinary System: Glomerular Filtration Figure 19-10

Reabsorption • Transepithelial transport • Substances cross both apical and basolateral membrane • Paracellular pathway • Substances pass through the junction between two adjacent cells

Secretion • Transfer of molecules from extracellular fluid into lumen of the nephron • Active process • Secretion of K+ and H+ is important in homeostatic regulation • Enables the nephron to enhance excretion of a substance
Excretion • Excretion = filtration – reabsorption + secretion • Clearance • Rate at which a solute disappears from the body by excretion or by metabolism • Non-invasive way to measure GFR • Inulin and creatinine used to measure GFR
