Detailed explanation-1: ->Podocytes are found in the inner wall of the Bowman’s capsules in the nephrons of the kidney. > The foot processes of the podocytes are called pedicels that give podocytes their name, the pedicels extend from the podocytes wrap themselves around the capillaries of the glomerulus to form the filtration slits.
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: -Podocytes (also known as visceral epithelial cells) are highly specialized cells found in the glomeruli of kidney nephrons. Podocytes wrap the external surface of the basal lamina of the glomerular capillaries (Figure 1).
