Alayer of epithelial cells surrounding the outer surface of the capillary basement membrane in a nephron
EXPLANATION
Renal Functional Anatomy, Glomerular Filtrati
- Glomerular Filtration Barrier Architecture:
- The ultrafiltration barrier of the renal corpuscle consists of three sequential layers:
- Fenestrated vascular endothelium.
- Glomerular basement membrane (GBM).
- Visceral layer of Bowman's capsule: Formed by specialized epithelial cells termed Podocytes.
- Podocytes envelop the outer urinary surface of the capillary basement membrane, extending primary and secondary interdigitating foot processes (pedicels) separated by slit diaphragms ($25 - 30\text{ nm}$) that provide the final size- and charge-selective barrier to protein filtration.
- nalysis:
- (Podocytes): Correct epithelial cell layer.
