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.
