Abstract
The kidney has two resistance vessels, the afferent and the efferent arterioles, located in the pre- and post-glomerulus. Different reactions of each arteriole to endogenous and exogenous vasoactive agents regulate renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Functional and anatomical heterogeneity among nephrons has also been well recognized. Therefore, it might be expected that differences exist among nephrons in the relative tonus of afferent and efferent arterioles. However, there is no literature concerning these differences.
