Title: Juxtaglomerular cells in renal afferent arteriole of the kidney X
Description:
(A, B): Kidney cortex, stain Azan, human. Survey and detail of glomerulus, (1) afferent arteriole, (2) tubule with macula densa cells.
Cross-section (B,1) and longitudinal section of afferent arteriole. (arrow) Modified smooth muscle cells, JG cells).
(C): Electron microscopy afferent arteriole of the glomerulus, rat. Note the granulated JG cell (green arrow) between the non-
granulated normal smooth muscle cells of the arteriolar wall.
Undulating internal elastic lamina(*), (3) tangential sectioned endothelial cells (no lumen visible).
(D): Electron microscopy of the afferent vessel in the glomerulus, perfusion-fixed, rabbit. The rectangle contains the granulated JG cells just below the endothelial cells. The JG cells are detailed in (E, F), rat. They contain renin in the electron-dense granules, involved in the regulation of the blood pressure.
Keywords/Mesh: urinary system, kidney, glomerulus, vas afferens, JG cell, histology, electron microscopy, POJA collection
