Granular variety of myoepithelioid cells in the wall of afferent arteriole. Replaces the typical smooth muscle cells of the tunica media of the artery.

A

Juxtaglomerular cells

51
Q

Where can you find JG cells

A

Afferent arteriole

52
Q

A decrease in afferent arterial volume secondary to low perfusion pressure results in the release of

53
Q

An enzyme that is released into the blood and acts upon blood proteins to produce a potent vasoconstrictor

54
Q

A potent vasoconstrictor that is stimulated by the release of renin. Elevates BP

A

Angiotensin

55
Q

Hypertension of renal origin can be cured by
