a: glomerulus ~
b: a sieve which takes blood
What:
"The glomerulus is like a sieve which takes blood, filters it, and makes sure large molecules like proteins and cells don't get in to your urine. If there is a problem with the glomeruli, they get leaky, all sorts of stuff gets in to the urine that's not supposed to be there, and one of those things is a smaller protein called albumin."
