The glomerulus (pl.: glomeruli) is a network of small blood vessels (capillaries) known as a tuft, located at the beginning of a nephron in the kidney. Each of the two kidneys contains about one million nephrons. The tuft is structurally supported by the mesangium (the space between the blood vessels), composed of intraglomerular mesangial cells.
Glomeruli are centered on the large axonal terminals of glutamatergic afferent mossy fibers. Each terminal comes into contact with dendrites from 50 to 60 different granule cells. The granule cells themselves each have a single or multiple dendrites, and each participates in a different glomerulus.
In mammals, glomeruli typically range between 50-120 μm in diameter and number between 1100 and 2400 depending on the species, with roughly between 1100 and 1200 in humans. [1] [2] The number of glomeruli in a human decreases with age; in humans that are over 80 they are nearly absent. [5]
Glomerulus (/ ɡ l ə ˈ m ɛr (j) əl ə s, ɡ l oʊ-/; pl.: glomeruli) is a common term used in anatomy to describe globular structures of entwined vessels, fibers, or neurons. Glomerulus is the diminutive of the Latin glomus, meaning "ball of yarn". Glomerulus may refer to: Glomerulus (kidney), the filtering unit of the kidney
There are a variable amount of glomeruli with dilated Bowman's capsules within patients with GCKD. Tufts of the glomerulus attached to the walls of the capillaries have the possibility to be collapsed or shrunk. The epithelia in the wall of the capsule are also flattened. The enlargement of the kidney can be related to the degree of cyst formation.
