Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
To enter the Bowman’s capsule, fluid from the blood crosses (in the correct order) ____
A
epithelium of Bowman’s capsule, basement membrane, capillary endothelium
B
capillary endothelium, epithelium of Bowman’s capsule, basement membrane
C
arteriole endothelium, basement membrane, epithelium of Bowman’s capsule
D
capillary endothelium, basement membrane, epithelium of Bowman’s capsule
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The sequence of layers through which the filtration of blood takes place in the nephron is as follows: The endothelium of glomerular blood vessels, basement membrane and the epithelium of Bowman’s capsule having cells called podocytes .

Detailed explanation-2: -Proper sequence of the parts are-glomerulus, Bowman’s capsule, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, convoluted tubule.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Filtrate drainage The filtrate that has passed through the three-layered filtration unit enters Bowman’s capsule. From there, it flows into the renal tubule-the nephron-which follows a U-shaped path to the collecting ducts, finally exiting into a renal calyx as urine.
