A&P quiz: This is a. . .
This lovely pink bauble is better known as a:
A) gremlin
B) globulin
C) glomerulus
D) gomphosis
E) gomphus
(answer below the fold. . .)
The answer is C) glomerulus. And this illustration by Jim Stanis is the finest glomerulus I have ever seen - podocytes, pedicels and all!
Bonus point if you know what a glomerulus does - without looking it up on Wikipedia. Quadruple bonus points if you know what all the other answers actually are.
Illustration via Street Anatomy, of course.
