Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Control of renal blood flow, glomerular filtration, and renin secretion occurs at the JGA. Together, the juxtaglomerular cells and macula densa cells form the JGA. The macula densa prevent large fluctuations in body water and salt. The visceral epithelium becomes the parietal epithelium. The filtration slits are intercellular clefts that modulate filtration.
