Answer: The juxtaglomerular complex is a system that regulates the rate of filtrate formation and systemic blood pressure. This is made up of the distal convoluted tubule and the glomerular afferent arteriole. In the distal convoluted tubule, there are specialized epithelial cells (macula densa) that detect sodium concentration of the liquid in the tubule. Because of the increase in sodium, the macula densa cells activate the afferent arteriole’s contraction, which reduces blood flow in the glomerulus. In the afferent arteriole, there are juxtaglomerular cells which secrete renin when the blood pressure decreases.

How wpukd you know if two chromosomes were homologous
nadya68 [22]
Homologues are chromosome pairs of the same length, centromere position, and staining pattern with genes for the same characteristics at corresponding locations. One homologous chromosome is inherited from the organism's mother, the other from the organism's father during sexual reproduction. The crossing over, or synapse, occurs during meiosis, which is the process of gamete formation.
