Cake of the Day: This disturbingly detailed cake comes from Conjurer’s Kitchen, which drew inspiration from 18th century wax models. It’s an anatomy lesson and dessert, all in one place!

Filter factor
Among the essential jobs of the kidneys is cleansing the blood of metabolic waste and excess water, which is then excreted through the urinary tract. Each kidney consists of about 1 million glomeruli – tightly bound knots of capillaries covered with podocyte cells (in this image by Thomas Deerinck, false-colored red). The podocyte cells form interweaving extensions, called pedicles, that infiltrate the kidneys’ capillary system. Toxic waste is extracted as it moves through the pedicles’ interlocking filtration slits, transferred to the lumen of the Bowman’s capsule and finally drained into the bladder as urine.
The process is efficient and endlessly hard-working, filtering roughly 100 liters (26 gallons) of blood every hour.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw5hmm74IY1qievavo1_500.jpg)
