... comprised of podocytes and mesangial cells. The podocytes possess processes called pedicles (what alliteration!) that wrap around the capillaries and interdigitate to form filtration slits approximately 25nm wide. The mesangial cells serve a phagocytic function and keep the basement membrane clear o ...
