As a result of the inflammatory insult, the parietal epithelial cells start proliferating and form crescents within the Bowman's space. (shakerdesignproject.com)
Multiprotein complexes that facilitate the stable adhesion of basal epithelial cells to the underlying basement membrane. (edu.au)
In this context, the parietal epithelial cells (PECs) of the glomerulus have attracted increasing attention in recent years. (scienceopen.com)
In extracapillary proliferation, proliferation of parietal epithelial cells leads to the formation of crescents, a feature characteristic of certain forms of rapidly progressive GN. (medscape.com)
However, the cells are more rounded than the more spindle-shaped parietal epithelial cells typically seen in a crescent. (basicmedicalkey.com)
A. Collapsing glomerulopathy with collapse of the glomerular capillary loops and prominence of the overlying podocytes and/or parietal epithelial cells forming a radially-oriented proliferation around the collapsed glomerular tuft. (ajkdblog.org)
Podocytes3
The fluid passes from the pores of capillaries to the basement membrane and eventually into the renal tubules through the filtrations slits of podocytes. (microbenotes.com)
NPHS2 is almost exclusively expressed in the podocytes of fetal and mature kidney glomeruli, and encodes a new integral membrane protein, podocin, belonging to the stomatin protein family. (scienceopen.com)
We propose the outline of such a mechanism based on following aspects: (1) The glomerulus is a complex structure, the stability of which depends on the cooperative function of the basement membrane, mesangial cells and podocytes, counteracting the distending forces originating from the high glomerular hydrostatic pressures.

Capillaries4
The glomerular crescent is a histomorphological indicator of a rupture of glomerular capillaries, usually as a consequence of an intense immune attack involving cytotoxic elements, such as complement membrane attack complex and extracellular histones, that is, necroinflammation. (shakerdesignproject.com)
Normally, fluid enters the pleural space from the capillaries in the parietal pleura , from interstitial spaces of the lung via the visceral pleura , or from the peritoneal cavity through small holes in the diaphragm . (wikidoc.org)
Where the fenestrae (windows) in the glomerular capillaries match the spaces between the podocyte "fingers," the only thing separating the capillary lumen and the lumen of Bowman's capsule is their shared basement membrane (Figure 17.4.2). (pressbooks.pub)
Interstitial fluid and solutes drain from brain to cervical lymph nodes along basement membranes of capillaries and arteries powered by the pulsatile flow in these vessels (reverse transport). (medscape.com)
Endothelium1
Acute glomerulonephritis (GN) comprises a specific set of renal diseases in which an immunologic mechanism triggers inflammation and proliferation of glomerular tissue that can result in damage to the basement membrane, mesangium, or capillary endothelium. (medscape.com)
Capillary3
The primary feature of crescentic glomerulonephritis is the rupture of the basement membrane followed by extra capillary fibrin precipitate, and this, followed by the proliferation of parietal cells and formed capsular proliferate in a crescent shape. (shakerdesignproject.com)
Glomerular basement membrane thickening appears as thickening of capillary walls on light microscopy. (medscape.com)
This membrane permits very rapid movement of filtrate from capillary to capsule though pores that are only 70 nm in diameter. (pressbooks.pub)
Epithelium3
The parietal layer of the glomerular capsule is simple squamous epithelium. (studyhubpro.com)
The outermost part of Bowman's capsule, the parietal layer, is a simple squamous epithelium. (pressbooks.pub)
In contrast, the outer or parietal layer of Bowman's capsule is a single layer of simple squamous epithelium. (worldsrichpeople.com)
Bowman's1
Bowman's capsule consists of the visceral and parietal layers (FIG 1). (worldsrichpeople.com)
Outer3
The kidney is surrounding by an outer membrane called the renal capsule. (armandoh.org)
The lungs are surrounded by two membranes , the outer parietal pleura is attached to the chest wall and the inner visceral pleura is attached to the lung . (wikidoc.org)
The outer tunica vaginalis is a serous membrane that has both a parietal and a thin visceral layer. (bccampus.ca)
Filtration membrane2
These three features comprise what is known as the filtration membrane. (pressbooks.pub)
The major structures comprising the filtration membrane are fenestrations and podocyte fenestra, fused basement membrane, and filtration slits. (worldsrichpeople.com)
Connective tissue3
Peritoneum is defined as gliding membrane, composed of mesothelial cells maintained by basement membrane and thin layer of connective tissue. (ukessays.com)
Each pleural membrane is made up of a layer of mesothelial cells, [2] basement membrane , connective tissue, microvessels and lymphatics . (wikidoc.org)
Basement membrane (BM) can be formed by the fusion of either two adjacent basal laminae or a basal lamina with an adjacent reticular lamina of connective tissue. (lookformedical.com)
Mesothelial cells2
Mesothelial cells play a vital role in maintaining the structure of peritoneal membrane and peritoneal homeostasis. (ukessays.com)
Bioincompatible dialysis fluid causes mesothelial cells to undergo uncontrolled mesothelial-to-mesenchymal transition triggered by Transforming growth factor-β1, which leads morphological and functional disruption of membrane. (ukessays.com)
Renal1
Granular epithelial peripolar cells are located at the angle of reflection of the parietal to visceral angle of the renal corpuscle. (lookformedical.com)
Mesothelium2
It consists of two distinct layers of mesothelium, known as parietal peritoneum and visceral peritoneum. (ukessays.com)
Pleural fluid is filtered across the parietal mesothelium in the top of the pleural cavity and removed by lymphatic stomatas in the more dependent mediastinal and diaphragmatic regions. (wikidoc.org)
A variety of immune-mediated glomerular diseases have been documented, including immune complex deposition, anti-glomerular basement membrane disease, and pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis. (ajkdblog.org)
Deposition1
On electron microscopy, this may appear as the result of thickening of basement membrane proper (eg, diabetes) or deposition of electron-dense material, either on the endothelial or epithelial side of the basement membrane. (medscape.com)
The nervous impulse is conveyed by the geniculocalcarine pathway, composed of the axons from the geniculate body cells that pass through the temporal and parietal lobes, to synapse in the calcarine cortex in the occipital lobe which relays the impulses for higher cortical analyses such as reading and recognition. (neupsykey.com)
Lungs2
The same antibodies may react with alveolar basement membrane in the lungs (being called Anti-ABM-antibodies), presenting with hematemesis. (letstalkmed.com)
The pleural membrane also helps to keep the two lungs away from each other and air tight, thus if one lung is punctured and collapses due to an accident, the other pleural cavity will still be air tight, and the other lung will work normally. (wikidoc.org)
Folds1
As a result, certain regions of the cerebral cortex-areas known as the frontal and parietal lobes-develop too many folds (called gyri), and the folds are unusually small. (medlineplus.gov)
Layers1
[4] The mesothelial surface of parietal pleura is permeated by stomas that connect via lacunae to a lymphatic network in the adjacent submesothelial layers. (wikidoc.org)
Underlying blood1
This dialysis therapy uses peritoneum membrane as semi-permeable membrane and principle of diffusion, to diffuse waste from underlying blood vessel into the solution. (ukessays.com)
Barrier1
Minimal change glomerulopathy → cytokine produced neutralizes the negatively charged basement membrane → albumin pass through the filtration barrier → albuminuria. (letstalkmed.com)
