Myogenic regulation controls GFR via the smooth muscles of arterioles; increased arterial pressure stretches the afferent arteriole, causing it to constrict and prevent large changes in blood flow into the glomerulus.
La autorregulación miogénica controla la TFG mediante el músculo liso de los arteriolas; el aumento de la presión arterial estira la arteriola aferente, provocando su constricción para mantener un flujo sanguíneo constante al glomérulo.
