NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -Liquid and solutes of the blood must pass through multiple layers to move from the glomerular capillaries into Bowman’s space to ultimately become filtrate within the nephron’s lumen. Following the GBM, filtrate must pass through the epithelial layer of Bowman’s capsule, which is composed of podocytes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glomerular filtration is the first step in urine formation and constitutes the basic physiologic function of the kidneys. It describes the process of blood filtration in the kidney, in which fluid, ions, glucose, and waste products are removed from the glomerular capillaries.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glomerular filtration is a process of moving materials (water and solutes) under pressure (blood hydrostatic pressure) from the blood in the glomerular capillaries into Bowman’s capsule.
