What mechanisms in the body play a role in maintaining glomerular filtration rate with fluctuating blood pressure?
The mechanism for maintaining filtration rate in relation to blood pressure is carried out by the juxtaglomerular apparatus which is composed of the macula densa and the juxtaglomerular cells in the kidneys. When blood pressure drops, the juxtaglomerular apparatus secretes renin, which initiates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone cycle that raises blood pressure.
What is produced by the kidneys?
The kidney secretes the hormones renin, calcitriol and erythropoietin. Renin - also known as angiotensinogenase, helps to control the body's blood pressure by regulating the balance of fluid and electrolytes in the body. Calcitriol - This is a form of Vitamin D which regulates calcium and phosphorous levels in the body. Erythropoietin - This is a glycoprotein hormone and has an important role in the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow.
