Cells of macula densa produce
Cells of macula densa produce
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Renin
Macula densa are specialized cells present in the distal convoluted tubule of nephron where distal convoluted tubule come in contact with the afferent renal arteriole of the glomerulus. When blood volume has decreased the cells of macula densa give signals to juxtaglomerular cells to secrete renin enzyme. Hence cells of macula densa produce renin in response to low blood volume by stimulating juxtaglomerular cells.So, the correct answer is 'Renin'.
