Text SolutionText solutionverified iconVerified

The juxtaglomerular apparatus is a specialized structure formed by the distal convoluted tubule and the glomerular afferent arteriole.
One of the effects of the sympathetic nervous system is to stimulate renin secretion by the juxtaglomerular cells, activating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS).
The RAAS increases extracellular fluid volume by increasing sodium reabsorption which is the fall in the glomerular filtration rate.
