The region known as the macula densa is part of excretory system.

More precisely, macula densa is a structure located in the kidney, in the wall of the distal tubule. The macula densa is composed of tightly packed specialized cells on the place where the distal tubule touches the glomerulus.

The role of this structure is to detect changes in concentration of sodium chloride and to send a signal to the afferent arterioles (to change blood pressure) or to the juxtaglomerular cells (renin release).

after the brain receives information from the body's sensory receptors, what is the next step in responding to this information?
Bumek [7]

The sensory receptors refer to the portions of the nervous system, which sense variations in the external or internal surroundings. The sensory input can be in various forms, comprising taste, pressure, light, sound, pH of blood, or levels of hormones, which are transformed into a signal and are transmitted to the brain or spinal cord.  

In the sensory centers of the brain, the barrage of information is integrated and a response is produced. The response, that is, a motor output refers to a signal conducted towards organs via motor neurons, which then transforms the signal into some kind of action, like changes in heart rate, movement, discharge of hormones, and others.
