• The afferent arterioles later diverge into the capillaries of the glomerulus. (wikipedia.org)
  • The interlobular arteries lead to the afferent arterioles, which feed each glomerulus. (medscape.com)
  • Each afferent arteriole carries blood into the renal cortex, where it separates into a bundle of capillaries known as a glomerulus. (innerbody.com)
  • From the glomerulus, the blood recollects into smaller efferent arterioles that descend into the renal medulla. (innerbody.com)
  • Filtration occurs in the glomerulus, which receives blood from the afferent arteriole. (flashcardmachine.com)
  • This pressure contrast is influenced by the combined resistances of the afferent (leading to the glomerulus) and efferent (leading away from the glomerulus) vascular pathways in the kidney. (randox.com)
  • Blood enters the glomerulus through the afferent arteriole. (randox.com)
  • Do afferent arterioles enter or exit the glomerulus? (freezingblue.com)
  • Within a Bowman's capsule, an afferent arteriole forms a tuft of high-pressure capillaries called the glomerulus . (humanbiomedia.org)
  • To do this, angiotensin II constricts efferent arterioles, which forces blood to build up in the glomerulus, increasing glomerular pressure. (wikipedia.org)
  • [3] Blood enters the glomerulus through the afferent arteriole at the vascular pole, undergoes filtration in the glomerular capillaries, and exits the glomerulus through the efferent arteriole at the vascular pole. (marlerblog.com)
  • Features of this model include: supporting artery and vein, afferent and efferent arteriole leading to glomerulus contained within Bowman.s capsule, convoluted tubules, Henle.s loop, and the collecting duct leading to the renal pelvis. (zygote.com)
  • A renal afferent arteriole is one of the blood vessels that branch from the kidney interlobular artery and conveys blood to the glomerular capillaries. (mcw.edu)
  • pinpoint petechial hemorrhageson the cortical surface from rupture of arterioles or glomerular capillaries giving the kidney a peculiar, flea-bitten appearance. (slideserve.com)
  • In the initial phase of urine creation, otherwise known as glomerular filtration, roughly 20% of plasma from the afferent arteriole flows through the glomerular capillaries and into the Bowman's capsule. (studymode.com)
  • During NE constriction, ACH caused dose-dependent and sustained vasodilation of the afferent arteriole, similar in magnitude in Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). (elsevierpure.com)
  • Renal plasma flow increases up to 85% in the second trimester due to an increase in the cardiac output and increased renal vasodilation of the afferent and arteriole arterioles. (medscape.com)
  • The afferent arteriole of the kidney is a unique vascular segment: it is the effector of the renal hemodynamic autoregulation. (dissertations.se)
  • When renal blood flow is reduced (indicating hypotension) or there is a decrease in sodium or chloride ion concentration, the macula densa of the distal tubule releases prostaglandins (mainly PGI2 and PGE2) and nitric oxide, which cause the juxtaglomerular cells lining the afferent arterioles to release renin, activating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, to increase blood pressure and increase reabsorption of sodium ions into the bloodstream via aldosterone. (wikipedia.org)
  • The use of the isolated, perfused juxtamedullary nephron preparation makes it possible to visualize the afferent arteriole while preserving its tissue surroundings and the functional integrity of the nephron. (dissertations.se)
  • Sardar Ali Khan Juxtaglomerular cell tumor (JGCT), or reninoma , is a typically benign neoplasm generally affecting adolescents and young adults due to modified smooth muscle cells from the afferent arteriole of the juxtaglomerular apparatus. (karger.com)
  • Through the tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism, how would an increase in filtrate NaCl concentration affect afferent arteriole diameter? (easynotecards.com)
  • Afferent arteriole diameter would decrease. (easynotecards.com)
  • the basic change is a homogeneous, pink hyaline thickening of the walls of small arteries and arterioles = hyaline arteriolosclerosis. (slideserve.com)
  • The thrombotic microangiopathy that characterizes hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) occurs when platelet microthrombi (tiny clots) form in the walls of small blood vessels (arterioles and capillaries) causing platelet consumption. (marlerblog.com)
