MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Podocytes are cells in Bowman’s capsule in the kidneys that wrap around capillaries of the glomerulus. Podocytes make up the epithelial lining of Bowman’s capsule, the third layer through which filtration of blood takes place.

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

Detailed explanation-4: -The inner layer of the capsule is the visceral layer, and it’s made up of cells called podocytes. These podocytes have pedicles that look like fingers.
