ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Podocytes are highly specialized cells of the kidney glomerulus that wrap around capillaries and that neighbor cells of the Bowman’s capsule.

Detailed explanation-2: -Podocytes are the special type of cells present in the visceral layer of Bowman’s capsule. These cells have the foot-like processes called pedicels.

Detailed explanation-3: -7.6 The Bowman’s capsule It consists of two layers of epithelial cells-the outer parietal and the inner visceral layer. The epithelial cells that form the visceral layer of Bowman’s capsule are provided with foot-like processes known as podocytes (Fig. 7.8).

Detailed explanation-4: -Bowman’s capsule encloses a cluster of microscopic blood vessels-capillaries-called the glomerulus, where wastes are filtered from the blood.

Detailed explanation-5: -Podocytes, also known as foot cells, are specialized cells with a unique shape that surround the glomerulus in the epithelial visceral inner layer of Bowman’s capsule.
