  • How could anyone NOT like this explanation? Probably clicked thumbs down accidentally!!!!!!

  • I love how you say capillaries!

  • You are AMAZING!!!! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!  They help so much with my physiology course, and you really do have a gift for explaining things thoroughly but clearly

  • Nicely done. I teach A&P and this url is going straight into my moodle shell.

    Autoregulation also depends on the selective effect of angiotensin on the EFFerent arteriole. Low flow in the DCT triggers renin release from the Juxtaglomerular apparatus, leading to the formation of angiotensin. Angiotensin selectively vasoconstricts the efferent arteriole, bringing the filtration pressure up. Thanks!

  • @bgates4

    the afferent arteriole dilates to keep flow the same--F=deltaP/R where F is inversely proportional to R. So, if pressure increases, R increases and F decreases. Vasodilation of the afferent arteriole adjusts for that. Vasoconstriction would increase pressure further, reducing flow rate even more.

  • this was so helpful, thanks so much!

  • Wouldn't the Afferent arteriole vasoconstrict to keep GFR the same when blood pressure drops and vise versa?

  • @bgates4 correct

  • @bgates4 No lol, it will constrict when blood pressure rises and vice versa.

  • by the way i could listen to your voice all day long

  • that was fantastic. you gotta gift for teaching and a voice I could listen to all day long. thanks a bunch

  • omg, wtf @ the ending pictures, LOL. they have some sick people.

  • @JBilal its kindof creative though dont you think? That was just chocolate ice cream

  • @JBilal  Sick people? There are more sick people in the US I think.

  • This really helped a lot

  • very good at speaking i learned a lot from you!

    wish you were my professor! haha

  • I teach vocational nursing, this instructor is par excellance, she too has an attractive voice, must be a real beauty!!!

  • Actually, the narrator left out a very important part about maintaining GFR.

    Control of the efferent arteriole! That's probably more important than the afferent arteriole.

  • @masmddds I agree with you here. This site has a relatively OK explanation about BP and GFR:

  • i like the spaghetti strainer analogy

  • i like the spaghetti strainer anaology.
