Chapter 26, Problem 4CT
Summary Introduction

Adequate information:

A nephron is the functional unit of the kidney. It is a tube-like structure with enlarged terminal ends. Their ultrastructure changes depending on the function of the segment they are in. The afferent arteriole supplies the blood into the glomerulus. It will move towards the inside of the glomerulus. The glomerulus capillaries filter the blood based on their particle size. It will extract the nonfilterable substances such as cells and albumin from blood and transfer the water and nitrogenous waste into the Bowman’s capsule.

To determine:

Several ways to decrease GFR.

Propose several ways to decrease the GFR.
Explain what GFR 25 mL/min means?
State the two methods of intrinsic control used to regulate GFR. Choose one of the methods and explain in details how it specifically helps regulate the GFR when blood pressure changes.
