An internationalised vector image was then created by User:Silversmith and uploaded to Commons as Image:Schematic diagram of the human eye.svg (see right). On request, this version with English annotations was created and uploaded here. Later, the text labels were made into hyperlinks pointing at relevant articles in the English Wikipedia.

The glomerular basement membrane of the kidney is the basal lamina layer of the glomerulus.The glomerular endothelial cells, the glomerular basement membrane, and the filtration slits between the podocytes perform the filtration function of the glomerulus, separating the blood in the capillaries from the filtrate that forms in Bowman's capsule.

Renal corpuscle showing glomerulus and glomerular capillaries Figure 2: (a) Diagram of the juxtaglomerular apparatus: it has specialized cells working as a unit which monitor the sodiujuxtaglomerular apparatus: it has three types of specm content of the fluid in the distal convoluted tubule (not labelled - it is the tubule on the left) and adjust the glomerular filtration rate and the rate of ...
The pupil of the human eye can range in size from 2 mm to over 8 mm to adapt to the environment. The human eye can detect a luminance from 10 −6 cd/m 2, or one millionth (0.000001) of a candela per square meter to 10 8 cd/m 2 or one hundred million (100,000,000) candelas per square meter.
In zoology, the trilobite Fenestraspis possessed extensive fenestrae in the posterior part of the body. [8] In the Paleognathae, there is an ilio–ischiatic fenestra. Fenestrae are also used to distinguish the three types of amniote: The ancestor of the amniotes is a primitive lizard, Hylonomus. From this reptile, three groups of amniotes ...
The renal corpuscle is composed of two structures, the glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule. [3] The glomerulus is a small tuft of capillaries containing two cell types. Endothelial cells, which have large fenestrae, are not covered by diaphragms. Mesangial cells are modified smooth muscle cells that lie between the capillaries.
A. The endothelial cells of the glomerulus; 1. pore (fenestra). B. Glomerular basement membrane: 1. lamina rara interna 2. lamina densa 3. lamina rara externa C. Podocytes: 1. enzymatic and structural protein 2. filtration slit 3. diaphragma. Podocytes have primary processes called trabeculae, which wrap around the glomerular capillaries. [2]
