Question

What are filtration slits seen in the Bowman's capsule?

Answer 1

Bowman's Capsule:

1. Bowman's capsule is a two-walled bag that wraps around the glomerulus and protects it.
2. Bowman's space refers to the area between the capsule's walls.
3. The glomerular capsule, the Malpighian capsule, and the renal corpuscular capsule are all names for Bowman's capsule.
4. The podocytes in the Bowman's capsule are structured in a complex fashion to offer some space known as slit pores or filtration slits.
5. The filtration barrier is made up of the glomerular capillaries' fenestrated endothelium, the fused basal lamina of endothelial cells and podocytes, and the podocytes' filtration slits.
