The macula densa cells respond to ________.

Biology
1 answer:
Ber [7]4 years ago
4 0

Answer: B. changes in solute content of the filtrate

Explanation:

At the junction between the straight part and the contorted part of the distal tubule, the wall adjacent to the renal corpuscle changes: the cells are columnar, with central nuclei next to each other. This region is the macula dense. It monitors the Na + and Cl concentration of the filtrate and, through a paracrine signaling mechanism, informs the juxtaglomerular cells. They are sensitive to tubular flow and secrete vasoconstrictor or vasodilator substances that act on afferent arteriole.

Dense macula cells are detectors of flow velocity and liquid composition within the nephron at the end of the thick ascending limb. These detector cells contribute to the control of glomerular filtration rate and the control of renin secretion.

How can fecal transplants cure patients infected with harmful bacteria
VladimirAG [237]
Fecal transplants are a relatively new procedure, where fecal matter is pushed directly into the digestive tracts via Nasoesophageal tube. While this may sound unsanitary, and actually very unsafe, it actually does have benefits, and the risks are minimized when considering how much the samples scrutinized. 

The goal with this type of transplantation is actually mean't to push in something else, good digestive flora; or bacteria that is crucial for the digestive tract to function and keep it healthy. A lot of stuff in a hospital environment including especially antibiotics, kill bacteria that is causing illness, but also good bacteria in your gut. So it is better to think of this more as Probacterial Transplantation.
