<prompt> The independence of renal blood flow from mean systemic aerial pressure is termed:Glomerulo-tubular balanceDistal tubule-glomerular feedbackFlow dependence of renal oxygen consumptionAutoregulation  <response>: This is the definition of autoregulation. Such regulation is independent of influences from outside the organ. It involves adjustments in the resistance at the afferent glomerular aeriole. Two processes are apparently involved in this regulation: myogenic control of the afferent aeriole and distal tubule-glomerular feedback.
