Question

Liquid which collects in the cavity of Bowman's capsule is

• A. Concentrated urine
• B. Plasma minus blood proteins and blood cells
• C. Glycogen and water
• D. Sulphates and water

Answer 1

The correct option is B Plasma minus blood proteins and blood cells

Any small molecules such as water, glucose, salt (NaCl), amino acids, and urea pass freely into Bowman's space, but cells, platelets, and large proteins do not. As a result, the filtrate leaving the Bowman's capsule is very similar to blood plasma (filtrate or glomerular filtrate is composed of blood plasma minus plasma protein i.e. it contains all the components of blood plasma except the proteins) in composition as it passes into the proximal convoluted tubule.

Thus, the correct option is 'Plasma minus blood proteins and blood cells.'
