renal corpuscle

All nephrons have their renal corpuscles in the cortex.

In the kidney, a renal corpuscle is the initial blood-filtering component of a nephron.

With respect to the renal corpuscle, the "connecting tubule" is the most proximal part of the collecting duct system.

Renal corpuscle: Liquid enters the nephron system at the Bowman's capsule.

The urinary pole is a location on the renal corpuscle opposite to the vascular pole.

There are two poles in the renal corpuscle, a vascular pole, and a urinary pole.

A glomerulus and its surrounding Bowman's capsule constitute a renal corpuscle, the basic filtration unit of the kidney.

In the first part of the nephron, the renal corpuscle blood is being filtrated from the circulatory system into the nephron.

Each nephron begins in a renal corpuscle, which is composed of a glomerulus enclosed in a Bowman's capsule.

Intraglomerular mesangial cells are specialized pericytes located among the glomerular capillaries within a renal corpuscle of a kidney.

The point where DCT contacts afferent arteriole of renal corpuscle is called macula densa.

The renal corpuscle filters out large solutes from the blood, delivering water and small solutes to the renal tubule for modification.

The renal corpuscles and renal tubules, in contrast, are developed from the metanephrogenic blastema instead of from the ureteric bud.

In biological terms, ultrafiltration occurs at the barrier between the blood and the filtrate in the renal corpuscle or Bowman's capsule in the kidneys.

Composed of a glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule, the renal corpuscle (or Malphigian corpuscle) is the beginning of the nephron.

It contains the renal corpuscle and the renal tubule except for parts of the loop of Henle which descend into the renal medulla.

A renal corpuscle is also known as a Malpighian corpuscle, named after Marcello Malpighi (1628-1694), an Italian physician and biologist.

In their outward course they give off lateral branches; these are the afferent vessels for the renal corpuscles; they enter the capsule, and end in the glomerulus.

TLR-2 is also found in the epithelia of air passages, pulmonary alveoli, renal tubules, and the Bowman's capsules in renal corpuscles.

Filtration, which takes place at the renal corpuscle, is the process by which cells and large proteins are filtered from the blood to make an ultrafiltrate that eventually becomes urine.

Each nephron is composed of an initial filtering component (the "renal corpuscle") and a tubule specialized for reabsorption and secretion (the "renal tubule").

Medullary refers to the renal medulla, while the juxta (Latin: near) refers to the relative position of the renal corpuscle, which in these nephrons is near the medulla.

This is performed at the microscopic level by many hundreds of thousands of filtration units called renal corpuscles, each of which is composed of a glomerulus and a Bowman's capsule.

Larger, extracellularly-derived AGE proteins cannot pass through the basement membrane of the renal corpuscle and must first be degraded into AGE-peptides and AGE free adducts.

The initial filtering portion of a nephron is the renal corpuscle, located in the cortex, which is followed by a renal tubule that passes from the cortex deep into the medullary pyramids.
