A&P quiz: This is a. . .

Jim Stanis

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.
