• Juxtaarticular -- composed of juxta, near + articular, from the Latin "articulus", a joint = near a joint. A juxtaarticular fracture is a break near a joint.
• The juxtaglomerular apparatus -- a collective term referring to the cells near a structure called the glomerulus in the kidney . The juxtaglomerular cells are specialized cells that stimulate secretion of the adrenal hormone aldosterone and play a major role in renal autoregulation.
• Juxtaposition -- the act of placing two or more things side by side or the state of being so placed. To lose a pair of juxtaposed teeth is to lose teeth next to one another. ( Apposition is synonymous with juxtaposition).
• Juxtapyloric -- means near the pylorus (the muscular area at the junction of the stomach and the first part of the small intestine , the duodenum ). To speak of a juxtapyloric ulcer is to be precise about the location of the ulcer near the pylorus.
• Juxtaspinal -- near the spinal column.
