MCQ
$JGA$ (Juxta Glomerular Apparatus), a sensitive region, which regulates the glomerular filtration rate is present near the
- A$DCT$ and $ PCT$
- B$DCT$ and efferent arteriole
- ✓$DCT$ and afferent arteriole
- DLoop of Henle's and $DTC$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$DCT$ and afferent arteriole
c
The kidneys have built in mechanisms for the regulation of glomerular filtration rate. One such efficient mechanism is carried out by juxta glomerular apparatus $(JGA).$ $JGA$ is the special sensitive region formed by cellular modification in the distal convoluted tubule and the afferent arteriole at the location of their contact. A fall in $GFR$ can activate the $JG$ cells to release renin, which can stimulate the glomerular blood flow and there by $GFR$ back to normal
