Title: Podocyte in glomerulus (VI) of the kidney
Description:
(A): Glomerulus, scanning electron microscopy, perfusion-fixed, rat. The podocyte (1) encircles with finger-like processes the glomerular capillary. Long primary processes (2), branch into secondary ones (3) and subsequently into tertiary processes (4).
(B, C): Electron microscopy of podocytes (1) engulfing a capillary, perfusion-fixed, rat. The finger-like processes are called pedicles (foot processes). The spaces between pedicles are filtration slits (B, arrow), being 300-500 nm deep and 35-40 nm wide.
Podocyte abnormality (cytoplasmic fusion, deposits etc.) can be associated with protein leak (minimal change nephropathy and nephrotic syndrome).
Keywords/Mesh: urinary system, kidney, glomerulus, podocyte, filtration slit membrane, histology, electron microscopy, POJA collection
