flow and filtration
renal blood flow: recall what proportion of cardiac output normally perfuses the kidney, explain the effect of changes in renal blood flow on glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and be able to calculate renal plasma flow rate given appropriate values

cards
flow and filtration
glomerular filtration: define the term freely filtered, recall the factors affecting filtration of substances in the glomerulus, compare the composition of the glomerular filtrate and the plasma, define glomerular filtration rate and filtration fraction and recall normal values
25
cards
flow and filtration
filtration pressure: explain net filtration pressure (hydrostatic and oncotic pressures), explain how net filtration pressure may be affected by changes to either of these components (including arterial blood pressure, plasma protein concentration and ureteral obstruction)
