Integrated model of renal autoregulation. Model consists of a vascular (afferent arteriole), a filtering (glomerulus), and a tubular component (proximal tubule, descending limb, thick ascending limb). Afferent arteriole is shown with a reduced number of smooth muscles (SM). Red arrows indicate sensor and effector sites of the autoregulatory mechanisms. Figure adopted from Ref. [13].
