Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Glomerular filtration barrier showing three distinguished layers: Fenestrated endothelial cells, glomerular basement membrane and podocytes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Podocytes are specialised epithelial cells of Bowman’s capsule which form the visceral layer of the capsule.
Detailed explanation-3: -Podocytes and glomerular filtration Podocytes (or visceral epithelial cells) are terminally differentiated cells lining the outer surface of the glomerular capillaries.
Detailed explanation-4: -The GBM has three layers that can be demonstrated ultrastructurally. These are the lamina rara interna, the lamina densa, and an outermost lamina rara externa.
