This is a tuft of capillaries called the glomerulus. The glomerulus is one of the key structures that make up the nephron, the functional unit of the kidney.
The glomerulus is a cluster of blood vessels in the kidney that helps to filter waste products from the blood. It is made up of capillaries and specialized cells that aid in the filtration process.
Yes, the fenestrated endothelium of capillaries, along with the basement membrane and filtration slits in podocytes in the kidney, make up the filtration membrane responsible for the filtration of blood in the glomerulus. The fenestrations in the endothelium allow for the passage of small molecules and fluids.
NephronThe renal corpuscle also known as the Malpighian corpuscle.
Filtrate in the renal corpuscle must pass through three layers to enter the capsular space: the fenestrated endothelium of the glomerular capillaries, the basement membrane, and the filtration slits formed by podocytes of the glomerular capsule.
Endothelial cells make up the endothelium of capillaries. These cells form a single layer lining the interior surface of blood vessels, including capillaries, and play a crucial role in regulating the exchange of substances between the blood and surrounding tissues.
arteries, capillaries and veins
The cluster of capillaries that forms a glomerulus arises from an afferent arteriole. After passing through the glomerular capillaries, blood (minus any filtered fluid) enters an efferent arteriole whose diameter is smaller than that of the afferent vessel. This is instead of entering a venule, the usual circulatory route. The efferent arteriole resists blood flow to some extent, which backs up blood into the glomerulus, increasing pressure in the glomerular capillary.
