Question

Very short answer type.
What type of epithelium forms the parietal layer of the glomerular capsule, the proximal convoluted tubule, and the distal convoluted tubule?

Answer 1

Simple squamous epithelium forms the parietal layer of the glomerular capsule because it allows passage of small molecules through the membrane.

Simple cuboidal epithelium with numerous microvilli is present in the proximal convoluted tubule.

Simple cuboidal epithelium with few microvilli is present in the distal convoluted tubule.
