Physiology

Macula densa

A short specialized plaque-like segment in the wall of a distal tubule, shown as a curved tubular section with a dense patch of tall, narrow epithelial cells along one side. The cells are more crowded and columnar than neighboring tubule epithelium, with smooth apical borders and clearly defined cell borders. Their oval elongated nuclei are tightly packed together, creating a darker, thicker oval to crescent-shaped patch that stands out from the surrounding tubule wall.
