increase in bicarb due to increased activity of Na/H exchanger --> more H in lumen for carbonic anhydrase to act on
AngII also constricts efferent to increase GFR
26

L-type calcium channel differences in skeletal vs smooth muscle and cardiac
in smooth muscle and cardiac RyR activation is dependent on an influx on Ca+ from L-type calcium channels
in skeletal muscle L-type calcium cannel is directly coupled to RyR, so contraction can occur without significant influx of calcium across the membrane
