Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The Bowman’s capsule is a cup-shaped structure that is part of the nephron.What is the source of glucose in the fluid in the Bowman’s capsule?
A
Hypertonic fluid in the medulla
B
Filtrate in the distal convoluted tubule
C
Urine in the renal pelvis
D
Blood in the glomerulus
Explanation: 

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: -Bowman’s capsule and the glomerulus make up the renal corpuscle. They are all parts of the kidney.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Bowman’s capsule surrounds the glomerulus (Fig. 7.4). It consists of two layers of epithelial cells-the outer parietal and the inner visceral layer. The epithelial cells that form the visceral layer of Bowman’s capsule are provided with foot-like processes known as podocytes (Fig.
