83.Normal glomerulus, diagram

A normal glomerulus is shown diagramatically. Note the relationship of the capillary loops to the mesangium. About 15% of glomerular filtration occurs through the mesangium, with the remainder through the fenestrated epithelium. The normal anionic charge barrier prevents protein molecules such as albumin from passing through the endothelium. The normal mesangium contains about 2 to 4 mesangial cells, which have a macrophage-like function.
