In tubuloglomerular autoregulation, how does the juxtaglomerular apparatus detect filtrate flow? Macula densa cells have stretch receptors that can detect changing volumes of filtrate in the ascending limb. Ascending limb physically depresses on the juxtaglomular apparatus as filtrate flow varies. Macula densa cells detect Sodium Chloride concentration in the filtrate and uses that as proxy for filtrate flow.
