Listeriosis is a bacterial infection caused by Listeria monocytogenes. While many bacteria generally infect specific locations within the human body, Listeria may infect many different sites, such as the brain or spinal cord membranes or the bloodstream.
The glomerulus is a tuft of small blood vessels called capillaries located within Bowman's capsule within the kidney. Between the capillaries and Bowman's capsule lies mesangium.Blood enters the capillaries of the glomerulus by a single arteriole called an afferent arteriole and leaves by an efferent arteriole. glomerulus is a network (as a tuft) of capillaries located at the beginning of a nephron in the kidney. It serves as the first stage in the filtering process of the blood carried out by the nephron in its formation of urine.
The Bowman's capsules are packed in the cortex of the kidney, the tubules and collecting ducts descend into the medulla. The image on the left shows a cut section of the cortex of a mouse kidney as seen under the scanning electron microscope. Near the top (center) can be seen a Bowman's capsule with its glomerulus. A capillary network within the Bowman's capsule. 2  Blood leaving the glomerulus passes into a second capillary network surrounding the. 3  Proximal convoluted tubule. 4  Coiled and lined with cells carpeted with microvilli and stuffed with mitochondria.
