A)filtration slits.
B)mesangial cells.

D)fenestrated cells.
E)pyramidal cells.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mesangial cells are located between the capillary endothelium and the glomerular epithelium and are involved in regulating glomerular blood flow by contracting or relaxing to adjust the surface area available for blood flow. Filtration slits, podocytes, and fenestrated cells are all part of the glomerular filtration barrier and are not directly involved in regulating blood flow. Pyramidal cells are not related to the glomerular filtration barrier or blood flow regulation.
