Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The filtration slit is a part of the glomerulus, which is not directly related to the juxtaglomerular apparatus. The juxtaglomerular apparatus is primarily composed of the macula densa, granular cells, and specialized cells of the distal convoluted tubule responsible for tubuloglomerular feedback. Renin, an enzyme released by granular cells, is also closely associated with the juxtaglomerular apparatus.
