Detailed explanation-1: -The glomerulus has a glomerular basement membrane consisting mainly of laminins, type IV collagen, agrin, and nidogen, which are synthesized and secreted by both endothelial cells and podocytes: thus, the glomerular basement membrane is sandwiched between the glomerular capillaries and the podocytes.
Detailed explanation-2: -The glomerulus is made up of three cell types, the endothelial cells, the podocytes and the mesangial cells (MCs). All three cell types are necessary and dependent on each other for normal glomerular function.
Detailed explanation-3: -A glomerulus is the network of capillaries that resides in the Bowman’s capsule that functions as a filtration unit of kidney. The glomerular function ensures that essential plasma proteins are retained in blood and the filtrate is passed on as urine.
