Question

function of macula cells

Answer 1

In the kidney, the macula densa is an area of closely packed specialized cells lining the wall of the distal tubule, at the point where the thick ascending limb meets the distal convoluted tubule. The macula densa is the thickening where the distal tubule touches the glomerulus.

Answer 2

It is located near the vascular pole of the glomerulus and its main function is to regulate blood pressure and the filtration rate of the glomerulus.
