the body - ✔️✔️glomerulus
What is one of the most important factors of GFR? - ✔️✔️blood volume
formed and release when there is decreased blood flow, volume, or pressure -
✔️✔️renin
What does renin stimulate the production of? - ✔️✔️angiotensin I and angiotensin II
causes vasoconstriction and the release of aldosterone - ✔️✔️angiotensin II
increases the reabsorption of Na++ - ✔️✔️aldosterone
produced in the kidney and regulates GFR, renal vascular resistance, and renin
production - ✔️✔️prostaglandins

✔️✔️bradykinin

During obstruction, dilation follows with ____? - ✔️✔️reduction in GFR
What are the clinical manifestations of obstruction? - ✔️✔️hydroureter and
hydronephrosis
obstruction in or below the ureter - ✔️✔️hydroureter
enlarged kidney due to dilation - ✔️✔️hydronephrosis
