Katusemembraanid
Katusemembraanid, also known as the renal corpuscle, is a microscopic structure located at the beginning of the nephron, the functional unit of the kidney. It is responsible for the initial filtration of blood to form urine. The renal corpuscle consists of two main components: the glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule.
The glomerulus is a tuft of capillaries that filters the blood. It is surrounded by the Bowman's
The filtration process in the renal corpuscle is driven by blood pressure. As blood flows through the
The filtrate then passes into the proximal convoluted tubule, where it undergoes further processing before being
