The number of glomeruli in a human decreases with age; in humans that are over 80 they are nearly absent.
Each arcuate artery supplies several interlobular arteries that feed into the afferent arterioles that supply the glomeruli.
The vomernasal sensory neurons to mitral cell connectivity is precise, with mitral cell dendrites targeting glomeruli.
Szentágothai did pioneering work in describing synaptic glomeruli, also known as encapsulated synapses.
This process is initiated by deposition of antibodies in the renal glomeruli but it is increasingly recognised that this is not sufficient for renal inflammation to occur.
The process by which the glomeruli become injured during streptococcal infection is uncertain, but is believed to be related to the body's immune response to the invading organism.
The number of glomeruli affected with these lesions increased with the duration of aortic constriction.
Strikingly, glomeruli and primitive-appearing tubules had formed; these appeared to connect up to the polycarbonate membrane.
