Consists of branching cells call podocytes, Clings to the glomerulus, and plays an important role in the formation of filtrate. The part of the nephron whose epithelial cells are most responsible for resorption and secretion is the proximal tubule. In the juxtaglomerular apparatus, the macula dense belongs to the terminal nephron loop.
