Glomeruli fail to filter from plasma
Glomeruli fail to filter from plasma
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Both B and C
The Glomerular filtrate which drains out from the glomerulus is further filtered by the specialized epithelial cells called podocytes of the Bowman's capsule. These cells have numerous cytoplasmic extensions called foot processes that cover most of the surfaces of the glomerular capillaries. Foot processes of adjacent podocytes are separated by narrow gaps called filtration slits. The porous walls of the glomerular capillaries and the filtration slits of the podocytes form a filtration membrane that permits fluid and small solutes dissolved in the plasma, such as glucose, amino acids, sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, other salts, and urea, to pass through and become part of the filtrate. This filtration membrane holds back blood cells, platelets, and most of the plasma proteins like globins. Lipids also cannot pass through.So, the correct answer is option D.
