Kidney Tubule Cell Shape. The renal cortex is the outer part of the kidney. The glomerulus plural glomeruli is a network of small blood vessels capillaries known as a tuft located at the beginning of a nephron in the kidney the tuft is structurally supported by the mesangium the space between the blood vessels made up of intraglomerular mesangial cells the blood is filtered across the capillary walls of this tuft through the glomerular filtration barrier.
