Modeling Transport and Flow Regulatory Mechanisms of the Kidney

Figure 7

(a) A flow chart that illustrates the steps by which periodic oscillations in cytosolic calcium concentration give rise to spontaneous vasomotion of the model afferent arteriole in [29, 30]. (b) Average vessel inner diameter as a function of steady-state transmural pressure, with and without a myogenic response. (c) Oscillations in C a 2 + and K + currents (denoted 𝐼 C a and 𝐼 K , resp.) and membrane potential 𝜐 . (d) Oscillations in intracellular arteriolar inner diameter. Reprinted from [29].
