About the three intrinsic control mechanisms regulating GFR and how they maintain the GFR constant when there are mean arterial pressure changes.
Introduction:
Urinary system or renal system helps in eliminating wastes from the body, regulating blood pressure, volume as well as in controlling electrolyte, metabolites levels. The urinary system has two kidneys, two ureters, one urinary bladder, and one urethra.
GFR is the Glomerular filtration rate. Plasma gets filtered through the kidneys. The volume of this filtration that happens every minute gives the GFR. By varying the factors, the GFR rate could be increased or decreased.
