Know the structure of the nephron and tubular system
Know the structure/function of the filtration barrier in the glomerulus What are the responses of the afferent arteriole to sympathetic stimulation or hypotension or hypertension?
What is renal autoregulation and how does it affect the afferent arteriole and GFR:
--if BP increases?
