•Electron micrograph of proximal tubular
epithelial cells showing cytoplasmic membrane
bound vacuoles.
•Substances in the lumen (L) can be reabsorped
into tubular cells by pinocytotic vesicles which can
then fuse with endogenous lysosomes to produce
large membrane bound vacuoles.
•Note the apical brush border or microvilli (Mv).
• Tubular basement membrane (TBM).
