Its functional units contain a glomerulus surrounded by Bowman's capsule, and that aforementioned proximal tubule is part of the loop of Henle.
One structure in this organ is lined by podocytes and features capillaries with fenestrations not spanned by diaphragms that are large enough for anything smaller than a red blood cell to enter. The granular cells of its juxtaglomerular apparatus secrete a hormone that forms a system with angiotensin and aldosterone. Its functional units contain a glomerulus surrounded by Bowman's capsule, and that aforementioned proximal tubule is part of the loop of Henle.
