Question

When fluid flow through the distal tubule increases as a result of increased gfr, the macula densa cells send a chemical message to the neighboring afferent arteriole. the afferent arteriole constricts, increasing resistance and decreasing gfr. this type of autoregulation involving both the kidney tubule and the arteriole is known as ________ feedback?

Answer 1

The answer is Tubuloglomerular feedback, which is one of the kidney's regulation system. It works this way: the information travels from the renal tubules to the glomerulus, regulating the glomerular filtration rate
