Q. The epithelial cells of Bowman’s capsule are called

1. erythrocytes
2. podocytes
3. thrombocytes
4. adipocytes

Q. The proximal convoluted tubules of many nephrons open into a straight tube called collecting duct

1. Proximal convoluted tubule and Mitochondria

2. Distal convoluted tubule and Thiazide

3. Henle's loop and Mitochondria

4. Bowman's capsule and Podocytes

Q.

Match the following components of the glomerular filtration barrier with the type of cells they have:

$\begin{array}{cc}ColumnI& ColumnII\\ i.\text{PCT Lumen}& a.\text{Principal and intercalated cells}\\ ii.\text{Thin Loop of Henle}& b.\text{Brush border cells}\\ iii.\text{DCT}& c.\text{Simple Squamous epithelium}\\ iv.\text{Collecting Ducts}& d.\text{Simple cuboidal cells}\end{array}$
