Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mesangial cells are found between the endothelial cells of adjacent capillaries in the kidney's glomerulus. They play a role in regulating glomerular blood flow and filtration by contracting and relaxing to control the surface area available for filtration. Filtration slits, podocytes, fenestrated cells, and pyramidal cells are not found between the endothelial cells of adjacent capillaries in the kidney's glomerulus.
