What 3 layers of the glomerulus capillaries are present to filter molecules (< 69, 000rmm)
A
Fenestrations
B
Perforations
C
Aquaporins
D
Basement membranes
E
Podocytes and pedicels
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This three-layer filtration barrier serves as a size-selective and charge-dependent molecular sieve facilitating the filtration of cationic molecules, electrolytes, and small and midsized solutes but restricting the passage of anionic molecules and macromolecules 15, 16.

Detailed explanation-2: -The forces that govern filtration in the glomerular capillaries are the same as any capillary bed. Capillary hydrostatic pressure (Pc) and Bowman’s space oncotic pressure (i) favor filtration into the tubule, and Bowman’s space hydrostatic pressure (Pi) and capillary-oncotic pressure (c) oppose filtration.
