Question 31

Intrinsic ability of tubules to increase their reabsorption rate in response to increased tubular load. It also acts as second line of defense to buffer the effects of spontaneous changes in GFR and urine output.

Answer 31

Glomerulotubular balance

Question 32

Determinants of reabsorptive force

Peritubular hydrostatic pressure Peritubular capillary colloid osmotic pressure Renal interstitial hydrostatic pressure Renal interstitial colloid osmotic pressure

Question 33

Effect of afferent and efferent arteriolar constriction on peritubular capillary reabsorption

Answer 33

Increased reabsorption due to decreased peritubular capillary hydrostatic pressure

Question 34

Effect of decreased renal plasma flow on reabsorption

Answer 34

Increased reabsorption. Dec renal plasma flow --> inc filtration fraction --> inc colloid osmotic pressure
