The structural classification system groups joints into three types: synovial, cartilaginous, and fibrous joints, while the functional, or degree of movement, classification system groups joints into diarthrosis, synarthrosis, and amphiarthrosis type joints. Synovial Joints
In summary, thapsigargin treatment markedly attenuates juxtamedullary afferent arteriolar vasoconstrictor responses to Ang II or NE. In addition, depletion of intracellular calcium pools with thapsigargin completely abolishes the response of juxtamedullary efferent arterioles to these vasoconstrictor agents.hese studies were conducted to determine the role of calcium release from the thapsigargin-sensitive intracellular calcium pool on the Ang II-and NE-mediated vasoconstriction of juxtamedullary afferent and efferent arterioles.
Both arteriole and distal tubule has specialized cells: juxtaglomerular cells (JG) - smooth muscle cells surrounding the afferent and efferent artioles and composed of granules containing renin; these cells act as mechanoreceptors that sense the blood pressure in the arteriole.
