Juxtaglomerular complex (juxtaglomerular apparatus)—Renal structure involved in the regulation of systemic blood pressure through the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. It is composed of juxtaglomerular cells, the macula densa, and the extraglomerular mesangial cells. Loop of Henle—The distal straight...
We shall now apply the general principles discussed in the preceding chapters to one organ, the lung. The purpose is to illustrate, in one concrete example, the use of physical principles, with the help of anatomy and histology, to explain and predict th
