THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

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 (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).

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Bowman’s capsule encloses a cluster of microscopic blood vessels-capillaries-called the glomerulus, where wastes are filtered from the blood.
