The JGA (Juxta Glomerular Apparatus) is a special sensitive region formed by cellular modifications in related to the same nephron.
- Proximal convoluted tubule and efferent renal arteriole
- Distal convoluted tubule and efferent renal arteriole
- Distal convoluted tubule and afferent renal arteriole
- Proximal convoluted tubule and afferent renal arteriole
Answer
(3) Distal convoluted tubule and afferent renal arteriole
Solution
The JGA lies where the distal convoluted tubule passes close to the afferent arteriole of its own glomerulus.
Cells of the DCT (macula densa) and the afferent arteriole (JG cells) are modified to form it.
