What Is the Juxtaglomerular Apparatus?
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.
