Answer:

Juxtaglomenular is a structure in the kidney which regulates the function of each nephron, the functional units of the kidney. The main function of the  juxtaglomerular cells is to secrete renin in response to:

Stimulation of the beta-1 adrenergic receptor

Decrease in renal perfusion pressure (detected directly by the granular cells)

Decrease in NaCl concentration at the macula densa, often due to a decrease in glomerular filtration rate

Explanation:

The juxtaglomerular apparatus is a specialized structure formed by the distal convoluted tubule and the glomerular afferent arteriole. It is located near the vascular pole of the glomerulus and a structure in the kidney that regulates the function of each nephron, the functional units of the kidney.

Describe how minerals form in diagram C
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

C is a volcano.

A volcano is as a result of igneous activities.

Volcanoes are landforms formed by the extrusion of magma on the earth crust.

Magma that reached the crust is called a lava and it is made up of molten rock minerals.

When the lava cools, it forms the rocks we see on the crust.

The mechanism by which minerals forms in a melt is known as differentiation. Differentiation is the process by which minerals separates from an originally uniform mixture. As temperature varies within the earth, new minerals forms by combining elements and others are broken down.

In a Volcano, the melt is the mineral soup. The melt is at a very high temperature. As it rises through the vent to the surface, temperature decreases very rapidly. When temperature reduces rapidly, it is difficult for large minerals to form. Minerals crystallise out of the melt according to the Bowen's reaction series and the composition of the melt.

We must note that, as the melt rises through the crust, it assimilates some crustal materials. Some of these materials can change the original composition of the melt as it rises. If such a melt orginates from the mantle, it mixes with crustal rocks and forms a rock bearing some mafic and felsic minerals.

It is typical to find fine grained rocks that lacks crystals in such a place. This is because the cooling of the melt was rapid and crystals could not form properly.
