To be clear, Amazing Grass Green SuperFood isnât protein powder (in fact, there are only 25 to 30 calories per serving) and it isnât a vitamin supplement (update: some of the flavors do now have vitamin & mineral infusions, too).
In the kidney, a tubular structure called the nephron filters blood to form urine. At the beginning of the nephron, the glomerulus is a network of capillaries that performs the first step of filtering blood. The glomerulus is surrounded by Bowmanâs capsule. The blood is filtered through the capillaries of the glomerulus into the Bowmanâs capsule. The Bowmanâs capsule empties the filtrate into a tubule that is also part of the nephron. The juxtaglomerular cells (JG cells, or granular cells) are cells in the kidney that synthesize, store, and secrete the enzyme renin.
10 hilariously insightful foreign words. A Bowman's capsule is part of the filtration system in the kidneys. When blood reaches the kidneys for filtration, it hits this area first, with the capsule separating the blood into two components: a cleaned blood product, and a filtrate that is moved through the nephron, another structure in the kidneys.
