Definição
Inglês
:
Highly differentiated
epithelial cells
of the visceral layer of
BOWMAN CAPSULE
of the
KIDNEY
. They are composed of a
cell body
with major
CELL SURFACE EXTENSIONS
and secondary fingerlike extensions called pedicels. They enwrap the
KIDNEY GLOMERULUS
capillaries
with their
cell surface extensions
forming a
filtration
structure. The pedicels of neighboring
podocytes
interdigitate with each other leaving between them
filtration
slits that are bridged by an extracellular structure impermeable to large macromolecules called the slit
diaphragm
, and provide the last barrier to protein loss in the
KIDNEY.
