The juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA) is located between the afferent arteriole and the returning distal convoluted tubule of the same nephron. It is responsible

Juxtaglomerular apparatus is located at the vascular pole of each glomerulus where the afferent and efferent arterioles come in close contact with the initial part of the distal convoluted tubule. It is made up of tubular and vascular elements of the nephron which interact to control the systemic blood pressure and the rate of glomerular filtration (and hence the rate of urine formation).

The juxtaglomerular apparatus is a structure found within the kidneys. Kidneys are made up of hundreds of thousands of units known as nephrons, which filter fluids so that the body can express waste, maintain the right balance of salts, and regulate its blood pressure. Each nephron contains a juxtaglomerular apparatus, which is involved in the regulation of the function of the nephron. Working together, the nephrons of the kidneys play a complex role in human physiology. This structure is…

The tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism in renal autoregulation receives feedback from downstream filtrate fluid in order to adjust filtration, stabilize nephron performance, and compensate for fluctuations in blood pressure. This process involves the juxtaglomerular apparatus, and the mechanism involved in this process is shown above.
