  Olfaction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mitral cells in the olfactory bulb form synapses with the axons within glomeruli and send the information about the odor to other parts of the olfactory system in the brain where multiple features of the odor may be conmined to form a synthesized olfactory perception.
The antennae have the sensory neurons in the sensilla and they have their axons terminating in the antennal lobes where they synapse with other neurons there in semidelineated (with membrane boundaries) called glomeruli.
The projection neurons send their axon terminals to mushroom body and lateral horn (both of which are part of the protocerebrum of the insects) and local neurons have no axons.

 Dr. Koop - Acute nephritic syndrome
Acute nephritic syndrome is a group of disorders that cause inflammation of the internal kidney structures (specifically, the glomeruli).
This occurs because of loss of blood within the damaged glomeruli.
Acute nephritic syndrome may be associated with the development of high blood pressure, interstitial inflammation (inflammation of the spaces between the cells of the kidney tissue), and acute kidney failure.

 Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Kidney
Efferent arterioles of glomeruli closest to the medulla (those that belong to juxtamedullary nephrons) send branches into the medulla, forming the vasa recta.
Blood supply is intimately linked to blood pressure.
It contains blood vessels, glomeruli (which are the kidneys' "filters") and urine tubes and is supported by a fibrous matrix.
