Which of the following factors affect GFR (glomerular filtration rate)?
|
|
autoregulation
|
|
|
hormonal regulation
|
|
|
autonomic regulation
|
|
|
enzymatic regulation
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The GFR is determined by the balance of hydrostatic and colloid osmotic forces across the glomerular membrane in addition to the permeability and surface area of this membrane. Between mean arterial blood pressures of 80 and 180 mmHg, autoregulation maintains renal blood flow, and therefore GFR is constant.
Detailed explanation-2: -The GFR is influenced by hydrostatic pressure and colloid osmotic pressure. Under normal circumstances, hydrostatic pressure is significantly greater and filtration occurs.
Detailed explanation-3: -Autoregulation (myogenic response) Tubuloglomerular feedback. Renin.
