Difference between Glomerular basement membrane and Glomerulus (kidney)

Glomerular basement membrane vs. Glomerulus (kidney)

The glomerular basement membrane (GBM) of the kidney is the basal lamina layer of the glomerulus. The glomerulus, plural glomeruli, is a network of capillaries known as a tuft, located at the beginning of a nephron in the kidney.

Similarities between Glomerular basement membrane and Glomerulus (kidney)

Glomerular basement membrane and Glomerulus (kidney) have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Agrin, Bowman's capsule, Collagen, Endothelium, Kidney, Laminin, Mesangial cell, Nephrin, Podocyte, Ultrafiltration (renal).

Agrin

Agrin is a large proteoglycan whose best-characterised role is in the development of the neuromuscular junction during embryogenesis.

Bowman's capsule

Bowman's capsule (or the Bowman capsule, capsula glomeruli, or glomerular capsule) is a cup-like sack at the beginning of the tubular component of a nephron in the mammalian kidney that performs the first step in the filtration of blood to form urine.

Collagen

Collagen is the main structural protein in the extracellular space in the various connective tissues in animal bodies.

Endothelium

Endothelium refers to cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, forming an interface between circulating blood or lymph in the lumen and the rest of the vessel wall.

Kidney

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs present in left and right sides of the body in vertebrates.

Laminin

Laminins are high-molecular weight (~400 to ~900 kDa) proteins of the extracellular matrix.

Mesangial cell

Mesangial cells are specialised cells in the kidney that make up the mesangium of the glomerulus.

Nephrin

Nephrin is a protein necessary for the proper functioning of the renal filtration barrier.

Podocyte

Podocytes are cells in the Bowman's capsule in the kidneys that wrap around capillaries of the glomerulus.

Ultrafiltration (renal)

In renal physiology, ultrafiltration occurs at the barrier between the blood and the filtrate in the glomerular capsule (Bowman's capsule) in the kidneys.

Glomerular basement membrane and Glomerulus (kidney) Comparison

Glomerular basement membrane has 25 relations, while Glomerulus (kidney) has 68. As they have in common 10, the Jaccard index is 10.75% = 10 / (25 + 68).
