Description
This is a capillary from inside the renal corpuscle; it is called a glomerulus. The regulation of the body's water and electrolyte balance and the production of kidney hormones (prostaglandin, renin, erythropoietin, vitamin D3, kinin) takes place in the kidney. These fine vessels are responsible for the separation of the ureas (waste products of the metabolism) from the blood. To make this resin cast of the finest blood vessels visible, all surrounding tissue was removed.
