Podocytes form the inner layer of the glomerular capsule and wrap around the capillaries of the glomerulus, helping to create the filtration barrier. Macula densa cells are a group of cells in the wall of the nephron that regulate the rate of blood flow to the glomerulus. Mesangial cells are specialized cells in the glomerulus that play a role in maintaining the structure and function of the glomerulus. Nephrocytes and monocytes are not directly involved in the structure of the glomerulus.
