Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The juxtaglomerular apparatus is made up of JG (juxtaglomerular) cells, which are modified smooth muscle cells in the walls of the afferent arteriole, and the macula densa, which is a group of specialized cells in the distal convoluted tubule. Together, they regulate the secretion of renin, a key enzyme in the renin-angiotensin system that helps control blood pressure and fluid balance.
