TY - JOUR T1 - THe foot process of the renal glomerulus AU - Ores RO Y1 - 1969/06/02 N1 - 10.1001/jama.1969.03160090066028 JO - JAMA SP - 1706 EP - 1706 VL - 208 IS - 9 N2 - To the Editor:—  For seven years I have been interested in the ultrastructure of the kidney and my work has been rewarded with a finding that I would like to share with the readers of The Journal. I have discovered why the cytoplasmic extensions of the epithelial cells in the glomeruli are called foot processes. One can see this clearly from the electron micrograph (Figure).In future work I shall endeavor to find the rest of the lady.
