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.

The capillary vascular supply consists of two distinct capillary beds, the glomerulus and the peritubular capillary bed. Vessels leading to and from the glomerulus, the first capillary bed, are both arterioles: the afferent arteriole feeds the bed while the efferent arteriole drains it.The glomerular capillary bed has no parallel elsewhere in the body. It is a high-pressure bed along its entire length.ts high pressure is a result of two major factors: (1) the bed is fed and drained by arterioles (arterioles are high-resistance vessels as opposed to venules, which are low-resistance vessels), and (2) the afferent feeder arteriole is larger in diameter than the efferent arteriole draining the bed.
