Which one of the following correctly explains the
function of a specific part of a human nephron ?
(a) Podocytes : create minute spaces (slite pores)
for the filtration of blood into the Bowman’s
capsule
(b) Henle’s loop : most reabsorption of the major
substances from the glomerular filtrate
(c) Distal convoluted tubule : reabsorption of
K + ions into the surrounding blood capillaries
(d) Afferent arteriole : carries the blood away
from the glomerular towards renal vein.
Answers
Answer:
Podocyte is an epithelial cell of the renal glomerulus, attached to the outer surface of the glomerular capillary basement membrane by cytoplasmic foot processes. Podocytes play an important role in glomerular function. They create minute spaces (slit pores) for the filtration of blood into the Bowman's capsule. Together with endothelial cells of the glomerular capillary loop and the glomerular basement membrane they form a filtration barrier.
Answer: !!please hit my answer as brainliest!!!
point (a) is correct;
because podocytes (cells of bowmans capsule) are arranged such that they leave only minute spaces between them called slit pores or filteration pores and almost all contents of the blood/plasma is filtered through these pores except plasma proteins.
