Kidney Glomerulus Simple Squamous. Simple columnar epithelial cells. Because it is made up of a single layer of scale like cells simple squamous epithelium is well suited for rapid diffusion and filtration.
The afferent and efferent arterioles enter the renal corpuscle at the vascular pole while the site where the glomerular capsule narrows and continues as the proximal thick segment of the nephron is called the urinary pole. However some simple squamous epithelial tissues are also derived from the mesoderm or middle layer of embryonic cells. Examine the slide which is a section through.
C stratified squamous epithelium.
Simple cuboidal epithelium figure 7d. In this case the ability of simple squamous epithelium to provide rapid filtration and diffusion is instrumental to the kidney s function as the kidney filters about 180 liters of blood per day. Because it is made up of a single layer of scale like cells simple squamous epithelium is well suited for rapid diffusion and filtration. C stratified squamous epithelium.
