Modeling of Kidney Hemodynamics: Probability-Based Topology of an Arterial Network
Fig 12
Comparison of net flow in efferent arterioles and glomerular filtration rate for ABT (left) and KSABT (right) structures shown in Fig 11.
Top panel: Blood flow in efferent arterioles as a function of root pressure. Bottom panel: Glomerular filtration rate as a function of root pressure. Solid black curves (with left axes) show net blood flow and net glomerular filtration rate. Gray curves (with right axes) represent the same characteristics for individual nephro-vascular unit. Dashed black lines highlight the region of the strongest autoregulation.
