Histology of a Renal Corpuscle

Description
The Renal Corpuscle

The Renal Corpuscle consists of two parts:
The Glomerulus is a mass of capillaries.
The Glomerular (Bowman’s) Capsule has a visceral layer of podocytes which wrap around the capillaries.

The Glomerulus is a mass of capillaries.
It is fed by the Afferent Arteriole and drains into the Efferent Arteriole.
Mesangial cells are contractile and help regulate glomerular filtration.

The Glomerular (Bowman’s) Capsule has a visceral layer of podocytes which wrap around the capillaries.
The filtrate is collected between the visceral and parietal layers.
