What is the function of the juxtamedullary complex?
The juxtamedullary complex is also called the juxtaglomerular capsule, and it functions in the kidneys to do filtration. Another name for it is the Bowman's capsule.
What is the urine making structure of the kidney?
juxtaglomerular apparatus
What is one mechanism the kidney uses to raise systemic blood pressure?
One way the kidney increases systemic blood pressure is to increase secretion of renin by the juxtaglomerular complex.
_____ Enzyme secreted by cells of juxtaglomerular?
Renin
What is the juxtaglomerular apparatus responsible for?
maintaning blood pressure
What is the name of the region that secretes renin?
juxtaglomerular apparatus
Where do the afferent and efferent arterioles come in contact?
Juxtaglomerular apparatus
Which enzyme is secreted by the juxtaglomerular apparatus?
Juxtaglomerus apparatus
What is the juxtaglomerular apparatus in the body?
The juxtaglomerular apparatus is a microscopic structure in the kidney, which regulates the function of each nephron. The juxtaglomerular apparatus is named for its proximity to the glomerulus: it is found between the vascular pole of the renal corpuscle and the returning thick ascending limb of the same nephron. This location is critical to its function in regulating renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate. The three cellular components of the apparatus are the macula densa, extraglomerular mesangial cells, and juxtaglomerular cells
What specific type of tissue are Juxtaglomerular cells derived?
smooth muscle
What part of the kidney controls renal blood flow?
Juxtaglomerular apparatus
What are the triangular divisions of the medulla of the kidney known as?
juxtaglomerular apparatus
