Verified by ExpertsC
The Juxta Glomerular Apparatus (JGA) is formed by the close contact of:
• The Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT) cells (specifically the macula densa).
• The Afferent renal arteriole cells (specifically the juxtaglomerular cells).
This region acts as a sensor for blood pressure and sodium levels to regulate the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR).
