Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Juxtaglomerular (JG) Cells**: - The juxtaglomerular cells are specialized cells located in the juxtaglomerular apparatus, which is formed by the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and the afferent arteriole of the glomerulus. 2. **Function of JG Cells**: - The primary function of JG cells is to release renin, an enzyme that plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure and fluid balance. 3. **Conditions for Renin Release**: - JG cells are activated to release renin primarily in response to a decrease in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This can occur due to low blood pressure or low blood volume. 4. **Mechanism of Activation**: - When there is a fall in GFR, the macula densa cells (part of the DCT) sense the decrease in sodium chloride concentration. This triggers the JG cells to release renin. 5. **Renin-Angiotensin System**: - The released renin activates the renin-angiotensin system, which leads to vasoconstriction and an increase in blood pressure. 6. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct condition that activates JG cells to release renin is a fall in the glomerular filtration rate. ### Final Answer: The condition that activates the JG cells to release renin is a **fall in the glomerular filtration rate**. ---

When JG cells release renin?

Read the following statements about the excretory system in humans: I. A fall in GFR can activate the JG cells to release renin. II. ADH can also affect the kidney function by its constrictory effects on blood vessels. III. The proximity between the Henle's loop and vasa recta, as well as the counter-current in them help in maintaining an increasing osmolarity towards the outer medullary interstitium. IV Our lungs remove large amounts of CO_(2) (108 litres/day). V. Renal calculi are the stone or insoluble mass of crystallised salts like oxalates within the kidney. How many of these are correct?
