Adjective
juxtaglomerular (not comparable)
(anatomy) Near, or adjoining a renal glomerulus.
In response to a lowering of the plasma sodium concentration, or to a fall in the arterial blood pressure, the juxtaglomerular cells release renin into the blood. Source: Internet
When the plasma sodium ion concentration is higher than normal ( hypernatremia ), the release of renin from the juxtaglomerular apparatus is halted, ceasing the production of angiotensin II, and its consequent aldosterone-release into the blood. Source: Internet
The sensor is situated in the juxtaglomerular apparatus of kidneys, which senses the plasma sodium concentration in a surprisingly indirect manner. Source: Internet
