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.

Each nephron is served with blood by the afferent arteriole. This vessel brings blood into a capillary tuft called the glomerulus. Blood leaving the glomerulus flows into the efferent arteriole. Usually an arteriole flows into a venule.But in this case the efferent arteriole flows into more capillaries, the peritubular capillaries, and, in juxtamedullary neurons (see below), the vasa recta.See Figure 26.7) These specialized cells are called podocytes (foot cells) because they have processes called pedicels which interdigitate or interlace producing openings called filtration slits. The capillaries are fenestrated in order to allow a large amount of filtration.
