Large cuboidal cells, abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, and large spheroidal nuclei. The first part of the proximal tubule leading away from the glomerulus. Narrow and straight. A tuft of winding capillaries surrounded by epithelial cells and few connective tissue cells.
Afferent arteriole breaks up into many capillary loops inside the glomerulus.
From these capillaries, the efferent arteriole is formed. Surrounds the renal tubules. These capillaries are branches of the efferent arteriole. All rights reserved.
