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.

Composed of a thick muscular wall, arterioles actively constrict and relax by means of myogenic, hormonal, and pharmacological mechanisms (19, 21). As the major vascular component that controls peripheral resistance, the arterioles are distinct from conduit arteries. The composition of arterioles is not dominated by collagen but by smooth muscle (7, 9), which makes up two thirds of arteriolar wall volume and determines the overall mechanical behavior. Collagen, which typically composes half of the volume of large arteries, has a negligible volume density in arteriolar composition (37). The composition of arteriolar walls has hardly been reported with the exception of the composition of rat cerebral pial arterioles, which have been extensively studied by
