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.

Birds, insects, and many reptiles excrete nitrogenous waste in the form of uric acid, which _____. see concept 44.2 (page 980)
Nadusha1986 [10]
Birds, insects, and many reptiles excrete nitrogenous waste in the form of uric acid, which saves water. 
Nitrogenous waste in the body tend to form toxic ammonia, which must be excreted. Mammals such as human excrete urea, while birds, reptiles, and some terrestrial invertebrates produce uric acid as waste in the form of a white paste or power. The production of uric acid involves a complex metabolic pathway that  is energetically costly in comparison to processing of other nitrogenous wastes such as urea or ammonia, it has the advantages of reducing water loss and, hence, reducing the need for water.
