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
Which enzyme is secreted by the juxtaglomerular apparatus?
Renin is the enzyme secreted by the 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 name of the region that secretes renin?
juxtaglomerular apparatus
Where do the afferent and efferent arterioles come in contact?
Juxtaglomerular apparatus
What is the juxtaglomerular apparatus in the body?
The juxtaglomerular apparatus is a specialized structure found in the kidney that regulates blood pressure and kidney function. It consists of the macula densa, juxtaglomerular cells, and extraglomerular mesangial cells, which work together to control the release of renin and the constriction of blood vessels.
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
What cell in the kidney monitor low blood pressure?
The cells of the juxtaglomerular complex of the nephron. Granular cells in the kidney monitor alteration in blood pressure. If blood pressure falls and remains low, this specialized cells release the enzyme renin into the blood stream.
What specific type of tissue are Juxtaglomerular cells derived?
Juxtaglomerular cells are derived from smooth muscle cells of the afferent arterioles in the kidney. They play a key role in regulating blood pressure and kidney function by secreting renin.
