What is the function of the macula densa cells of the juxtaglomerular complex (jgc)?

Biology
1 answer:
aalyn [17]2 years ago
8 0

The macula densa cells monitor the NaCl content of the filtrate entering the distal convoluted tubule.

Define juxtaglomerular apparatus.

The juxtaglomerular apparatus, often referred to as the juxtaglomerular complex, is a kidney structure that controls how each nephron, or functional unit of the kidney, performs.

What are macula densa cells ?

According to the traditional paradigm, the distal nephron's macula densa cells serve as salt sensors and send chemical signals to the juxtaglomerular apparatus to regulate key kidney activities like renal blood flow, glomerular filtration, and renin release.

<em>Hi there, I come in behalf of jcherry99,</em>

So, first question -

This shouldn't be that much of an issue, since we have the text to help us out, but I'll try breaking it up into more simpler words:

The placenta is incide the uterus, where the baby starts forming. As you might already know, babies do not eat while they're inside woman's bellies:

So how do they feed?

They feed throught the umbilical cord.

So why is the placenta there? Why would the baby want anything apart from food?

The placenta, instead of trading food with the baby, regulates temperature, supplies it with nutrients, exchanges gas with the mother (which the mother later exchanges with the environment) and gets rid of waste.

And, food is not everything for a baby that is in the urge of developing complex muscles, bones, etc.

Second "question" -

I do not actually know what I'm supposed to do, since there is no question. But I can tell you this - the information contained in part B is correct:

The amnioic sac provides babies with a liquid which allows him to move freely in the uterus, which is very helpful. But, note that he doesn't start moving randomly, he is always in a fetus or similar-to-fetus position.

Hope it helped,

stepladder [879]

Answer:

Researchers also found that the longer a male's tail feathers, the faster he was able to shake them. This effort would require more muscular strength, and might be a powerful signal of fitness to the females.

Which is part of the endosymbiont theory? Autotrophic prokaryotes evolved into mitochondria. Eukaryotes engulfed photosynthesizi
MrRa [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is eukaryotes engulfed photosynthesizing prokaryotes

Explanation:

The endosymbiotic theory or symbiogenesis is an evolutionary theory that traces the origin of eukaryotic cells from prokaryotic organisms. It explains that some of the organelles (Mitochondria and Chloroplasts) in eukaryotic cells evolved from free-living prokaryotic microbes which were ingested or engulfed. The ingested prokaryotic cells survived within the organism and developed a symbiotic relationship.

According to the theory, chloroplasts was formed when eukaryotes engulfed photosynthesizing prokaryotes and mitochondria was formed when bacteria capable of aerobic respiration were engulfed.
