Based on stereological principles, the number of glomeruli per unit area of kidney equals the number of glomeruli per unit volume of kidney. Glomeruli are the tufts of capillaries each situated within a Bowman's capsule at the end of a renal tubule in the vertebrate kidney that filter waste products from the blood and thus initiate urine formation.
