<span>The juxtaglomerular apparatus is a structure (formed by the distal convoluted tubule and the glomerular afferent arteriole) with the function in the regulation of blood pressure and the filtration rate of the glomerulus. Its primary components are:
</span> <span><span>· </span>the macula densa- specialized epithelial cells in the distal convoluted tubule (detect Na concentration),
</span> <span><span>· </span>juxtaglomerular cells- formed from the smooth muscle cells of the afferent arteriole (secrete renin),</span>
<span><span>· </span>extraglomerular mesangial cells (lacis cells)-unknown function.</span> <span> </span>

Answer:
be part of the cell signaling process
Explanation:
Glycoproteins and glycolipids are proteins and lipids with carbohydrate chain attached to it. They are an important component of the cell membrane with many roles:
- stabilizing membrane structure-because of their ability to bind water molecules via hydrogen bonds
- cell signaling-they are often membrane receptors for the hormones and neurotrasmitters
- cell attachment (adhesion)-for the connection between cells
- cell recognition-they can act as antigens on the cell surface (immune role)
Answer:
The largest internal organ in the body is the liver by mass
