Definitions for "Autoregulation"
Seen in cerebral, renal and coronary circulations. Mean blood flow remains constant despite substantial changes in perfusing pressure over the physiological range.
(physiology) processes that maintain a generally constant physiological state in a cell or organism
Vasodilation or constriction in response to a change in local blood pressure, in order to maintain local blood flow. This response is intrinsic to the vessel's smooth muscle. In the kidney, autoregulation of the afferent and efferent arterioles maintains normal RPF and GFR in the face of changing pressure in the renal artery.
