Question

Juxta-glomerular cells form

• A. Angiotensinogen and angiotensin
• B. Renin and erythropoietin
• C. Counter-current
• D. Selective secretory and absorptive apparatus

Answer 1

The correct option is B Renin and erythropoietin

Juxta-glomerular cells are specialized smooth muscle cells of the afferent arteriole, which supplies blood to the glomerulus. When the kidney receives the low volume of blood the juxtaglomerular cells are stimulated to release Renin. When the blood received by kidney have low oxygen levels these cells secrete erythropoietin hormone.

So, the correct answer is 'Renin and erythropoietin'.
