Preferred Label : glomerular epithelium;
Uberon definition : The glomerular epithelium is an epithelial tissue that covers the outer surfaces of
the glomerulus. The glomerular epithelium consists of both parietal and visceral epithelium.
Metanephric glomerular parietal epithelial cells are specialized epithelial cells
that form tight junctions as a barrier to protein transport. A metanephric glomerular
visceral epithelial cell is a specialized epithelial cell that contains 'feet' that
interdigitate with the 'feet' of other glomerular epithelial cells in the metanephros.;
