Answer: The glomerulus is filled with blood via an afferent arteriole and it is ensheathed in visceral SQUAMOUS EPITHELIUM.

Explanation: Glomerular wall consists of fenestrated endothelium, thick basal lamina and podocytes' pedicels separated by filtration slits of controllable width. These permit the filtration of water solutes into a capsular space between glomerular epithelium and the parietal squamous epithelium of Bowman's capsule.

Answer:

Simple  Squamous epithelium

Explanation:

These are flat cells with single layer thick. They are extremely flat with large surface ares to volume ratio. Therefore they are found in lining of organs and tissues whose functions  involved rapid movement or transport of substances across the  walls.e,g Alveolar Sac, Lining of the Bowman's  capsule of the Nephron.

When viewed under microscope, they appear like flat scales,with nuclei which can be flat, oblong or elliptical in shape.

The blood in the Glomerular filtrate is separated from the Bowman's capsular space by the endothelial lining of the Glomerular capillaries,basement membrane, and the simple  squamous epithelial cells which forms the innermost lining of Bowman's capsule.

These  squamous epithelial cells have some finger- like projections called  Podocytes with gaps in between.  The gaps allow  the passage of relatively large molecules;  e.g plasma protein, but  these are restricted with other large molecules,  by the innermost epithelial lining while allowing  rapid diffusion and filtration of glucose, amino acid. urea ions and other materials through.

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Explanation:

National Park Service has been keeping the native ponies on Ocracoke Island since the 1960s. It is believed that these ponies arrived and left by the ships. These ships required to lower their load thus they left the ponies on the Island. These ponies are known as Ocracoke ponies and also called as Banker ponies. These ponies share a link to old Spanish horses genetically. The unique characteristics of the ponies include one fewer lumbar vertebrae, greater bone density, short necks, wide foreheads, and one fewer rib.

Amino acids are the building blocks of _____.<br> proteins<br> sugars<br> carbohydrates<br> lipids
tester [92]

The amino acids are the building blocks of the proteins.  

Explanation:

The amino acids are the organic molecules made up of a carboxylic group, an amino group and a carbon side chain. The proteins are macromolecules, made up of amino acids. Many amino acids combine to form a protein. The structure of the protein depends on the sequence of the amino acids present in the structure of protein. A different protein has a different sequence of amino acids.
