Foot processes of podocytes interdigitate with one another forming filtration slits (or slit pores) that, in contrast to those in the glomerular endothelium, are spanned by diaphragms. Podocytes (or visceral epithelial cells) are cells of the visceral Epithelium in the Kidneys and form a crucial component of the glomerular A glomerulus is a Capillary tuft surrounded by Bowman's capsule in Nephrons of the vertebrate Kidney. The endothelium is the thin layer of cells that line the interior surface of Blood vessels forming an interface between circulating Blood in the

Some studies suggest that the size of the filtration slits restricts the passage of large molecules (eg, serum albumin) and cells (eg, red blood cells and platelets). Serum albumin, often referred to simply as albumin, is the most abundant Plasma protein in humans and other Mammals Albumin is essential for maintaining Red blood cells are the most common type of Blood cell and the Vertebrate body's principal means of delivering Oxygen to the body tissues via the Blood Platelets, or Thrombocytes, are small cytoplasmic bodies derived from cells They circulate in the Blood of Mammals and are involved
