This functional tissue unit (FTU) illustration includes cell types related to the renal corpuscle FTU in the ASCT+B Table Kidney v1.2. Multiple histology atlases, especially Human Microscopic Anatomy (Krstić 1991) and Histology: A Text and Atlas (Wojciech Pawlina and Michael H. Ross 2019) were referenced. Cell type and metrics were primarily defined from (Hu, McDonough, and Layton 2021; Layton and Layton 2019) and (Rasool et al. 2021). Uberon describes this FTU as follows: "The structure containing the glomerular capsule and the glomerulus that serves as the initial blood-filtering component of a nephron."
