    Juxtaglomenular is a structure in the kidney which regulates the function of each nephron, the functional units of the kidney. The main function of the juxtaglomerular cells is to secrete renin in response to:

    Stimulation of the beta-1 adrenergic receptor

    Decrease in renal perfusion pressure (detected directly by the granular cells)

    Decrease in NaCl concentration at the macula densa, often due to a decrease in glomerular filtration rate

    Explanation:

    The juxtaglomerular apparatus is a specialized structure formed by the distal convoluted tubule and the glomerular afferent arteriole. It is located near the vascular pole of the glomerulus and a structure in the kidney that regulates the function of each nephron, the functional units of the kidney.
