Question

The cells named podocytes occur in

• A. The inner wall of Bowman’s capsule
• B. The outer wall of Bowman’s capsule
• C. In the wall of the glomerulus
• D. In the wall of Henle’s loop

Answer 1

The correct option is A The inner wall of Bowman’s capsule

The epithelial cells of Bowman’s capsule called podocytes are arranged in an intricate manner so as to leave some minute spaces called filtration slits or slit pores.

Blood is finely filtered through these membranes so that almost all the constituents of the plasma except the proteins pass onto the lumen of the Bowman’s capsule.
