renal autoregulation
it just needs a page all to itself tbh
tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism
sensor: macula densa (concentration of NaCl)
myogenic mechanism
essentially stops the kidneys from popping if the BP shoots up
occurs within seconds
vascular stretch → ↑ movement of Ca ions from ECF intracellularly
prevents excess stretch of vessel wall
↑ vascular resistance → prevents excess ↑ in renal blood flow when arterial pressure rises
