Modeling Transport and Flow Regulatory Mechanisms of the Kidney

Figure 2

Schematic representation model TGF system. Hydrodynamic pressure 𝑃_𝑜(𝑡)=𝑃(0,𝑡) drives flow into loop entrance (𝑥=0) at time 𝑡. Oscillations in pressure result in oscillations in loop pressure 𝑃(𝑥,𝑡), flow rate 𝑄(𝑥,𝑡), radius 𝑅(𝑥,𝑡), and tubular fluid chloride concentration 𝐶(𝑥,𝑡). Reprinted from [3].
