What are the three layers through which the filtrate must pass starting from inside the glomerular capillary through to the urinary space?
Glomerular Capillary Endothelium, Glomerular Basement Membrane, Visceral layer of Bowman's Capsule
What would be found in the glomerular filtrate if the glomerular membrane were damaged?
protein
What would only be found in the glomerular filtrate if the glomerular membrane were damaged?
Protein
What are microscpic wire loops?
Microscopic wire loops are lesions which can be detected during renal biopsies. They are easily detected due to their thickened capillary walls and are usually located between the glomerular basement membrane and capillary endothilium.
The primary filter to exclude proteins from the filtrate is the?
the basement membrane
What role does the lamina demsa play in the renal corpuscle?
The lamina densa is a component of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) in the renal corpuscle. It provides structural support and acts as a filtration barrier, preventing the passage of large molecules like proteins from the blood into the glomerular filtrate. It also helps maintain the integrity and function of the renal corpuscle by separating the glomerular endothelial cells and podocytes.
What is the structure of respiratory membrane?
The respiratory membrane is formed by a combination of the walls of alveoli and walls of capillaries. It consists of type 1 alveolar cells, a basement membrane, capillary endothelium, alveolar epithelium and macrophages.
The filtration membrane includes all except?
The filtration membrane includes the glomerular endothelium, podocytes, and basement membrane. The only thing it doesn't include is the renal fascia.
What is the respiratory membrane made of?
The Respiratory membrane: The wall of the alveoli are composed primarily of a single layer of squamous epithelial cells, called type I cells, surrounded by a flimsy basement membrane. See page 815 anatomy and physiology 8th
The respiratory membrane is a combination of?
alveolar and capillary walls and their fused basement membranes
What visceral membrane forms part of the filtration membrane?
glomerular capsule
What structure anchors epithelium to connective tissue?
epithelial tissue cell is anchored by a basement membrane.
