13.9 Renal corpuscle

Version française

Section of a renal corpuscle.

This field shows the glomerular tuft of the corpuscle (C) attached to a cushion of mesangial cells (arrow) next to the macula densa (MD).

The glomerular tuft is suspended in the urinary space filled with precipitated proteins (*).

Facing the glomerular tuft and opposite the vascular pole, the urinary space is continuous with the lumen of the proximal convoluted tubule (T) of the nephron.
