Juxtaglomerular cells along with ___________ forms Juxta Glomerular Apparatus
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
The Juxtaglomerular Apparatus (JGA) is a specialized structure formed by the cellular modifications in the distal convoluted tubule and the afferent arteriole at the location of their contact.
The JGA consists of three types of cells:
1. Juxtaglomerular (JG) cells of the afferent arteriole.
2. Macula densa cells of the distal convoluted tubule (DCT).
3. Extraglomerular mesangial cells (Lacis cells).
Therefore, Juxtaglomerular cells along with Macula densa form the Juxtaglomerular Apparatus.
Answer: Macula densa
