I'm also looking for an example of autoregulation. I think one is about muscles releasing oxygen when there is low level of it e.g after heavy excercise

What is autoregulation?

Autoregulation is a specific form of homeostasis used to describe the tendency of the body to keep blood flow constant when blood pressure varies.[1]. While most systems of the body show some degree of autoregulation, it is most clearly observed in the kidney, the heart, and the brain.[2] Perfusion of these organs (especially the latter two) is essential for life, and through autoregulation the body can divert blood (and thus, oxygen) where it is most needed. One key component of autoregulation is the absence of central control. The "auto" in autoregulation refers to the ability of the organ to maintain a stable flow without the involvement of the autonomic nervous system.


IS the adjustment of blood flow to each tissue in proportion to its requirements at any point in time termed autoregulation?

No, the adjustment of blood flow to each tissue in proportion to its requirements at any point in time is termed tissue autoregulation. Autoregulation refers to the ability of an organ or tissue to regulate its own blood flow independent of systemic factors.


Myogenic mechanism of renal autoregulation?

The myogenic mechanism occurs whenstretching triggers contraction of smooth muscles in the wall of arterioles to normalize blood flow and GFR (glomerular filtration rate) by increasing or decreasing blood pressure. N.B. i rephrased the concept a little bit.source: principle of A&P by Tortora & Derrickson


What is cerebral blood flow regulated by?

Cerebral blood flow is regulated by a combination of factors including blood pressure, carbon dioxide levels, neural activity, and metabolic demands of brain tissue. Specialized structures in the brain called the blood-brain barrier and autoregulation mechanisms help maintain a consistent blood flow to meet the brain's energy and oxygen requirements.

What distinguishes autoregulation from extrinsic regulation?

Auto regulation (intrinsic) is when a cell, organ, or organ system automatically adjusts itself in response to a change in the environment. Extrinsic regulation involves the nervous and/or endocrine system detecting a change and sending a signal or releasing a chemical to facilitate change in another organ system, organ, or cell.
