Descriptor English: Juxtaglomerular Apparatus
Descriptor Spanish: Aparato Yuxtaglomerular
Descriptor aparato yuxtaglomerular
Scope note: Complejo celular compuesto por células yuxtaglomerulares, células lacis del mesangio extraglomerular, la mácula densa del túbulo contorneado distal y células epiteliales granulares peripolares. Las células yuxtaglomerulares son una diferenciación de CÉLULAS MUSCULARES LISAS y se encuentran en las paredes de las arteriolas aferentes glomerulares y algunas veces en las arteriolas eferentes. Las células del mesangio extraglomerular se localizan en el ángulo que forman las arteriolas aferente y eferente del glomérulo. Las células epiteliales granulares peripolares se localizan en el ángulo de reflexión que forma la hoja parietal y visceral de la cápsula glomerular.

Scope note: A complex of cells consisting of juxtaglomerular cells, extraglomerular mesangium lacis cells, the macula densa of the distal convoluted tubule, and granular epithelial peripolar cells. Juxtaglomerular cells are modified SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS found in the walls of afferent glomerular arterioles and sometimes the efferent arterioles. Extraglomerular mesangium lacis cells are located in the angle between the afferent and efferent glomerular arterioles. Granular epithelial peripolar cells are located at the angle of reflection of the parietal to visceral angle of the renal corpuscle.
