Cake Stands or Cake Salvers. And a few Banana Stands. The cake stands shown below & on the next. page are Early American Pattern Glass. cake stands available from PatternGlass.com. Seen at right is a 'stack' of our Feather pattern. cake stands topped off with a jelly compote. A limited number of patterns were made in. sizes that permit creating such a stack.
The afferent arteriole in this region contains specialised secretory cells (smooth muscle cells) called juxtaglomerular cells, that secrete renin. These cells do two things: 1  They monitor blood pressure, by measuring how much the arteriole wall is stretched.he afferent arteriole in this region contains specialised secretory cells (smooth muscle cells) called juxtaglomerular cells, that secrete renin.

When Arterioles are in series, the combined Resistance is higher than the individual Resistances. The Afferent Arteriole is in Series with the Efferent Arteriole. Increasing the Resistance of EITHER ONE increases the Total Resistance of the Kidney and reduces Renal blood flow (& vice versa).onstriction of BOTH Afferent & Efferent Arterioles, with preferential Constriction of the Efferent Arteriole. This results in a massive reduction in RBF/RPF and an increased in GFR. These are active under pathologic conditions (e.g. hemorrhage) NOT physiologic conditions.
