Detailed explanation-1: -Glomerular filtration barrier showing three distinguished layers: Fenestrated endothelial cells, glomerular basement membrane and podocytes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Podocytes are specialised epithelial cells of Bowman’s capsule which form the visceral layer of the capsule.
Detailed explanation-3: -Introduction. The glomerular capillary wall consists of three specialised layers: glomerular endothelial cells (GEnC) on the inside of the capillary, a glomerular basement membrane (GBM) and a layer of podocytes (glomerular epithelial cells) on the outside.
Detailed explanation-4: -This barrier has three major components: the fenestrated endothelial cell, the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), and the podocyte with their “slit diaphragms”.
