Histologic specimen of a kidney demonstrates cells closely adjoined to the renal corpuscle in the distal convoluted tubule. Their basement membrane is extremely thin and has no folds. These cells sense the changes in sodium content of urine and influence renin secretion occurring in juxtaglomerular cells. Name these cells:

1. A Glomerular capillary endothelial cells
2. B Mesangial cells
3. C Macula densa cells
4. D Juxtaglomerular cells
5. E Podocytes

Правильна відповідь: C. Macula densa cells
