Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The filtration membrane in the kidney consists of three main components: the fenestrated endothelium of the glomerular capillaries, the glomerular basement membrane, and the foot processes of the podocytes, which are specialized cells that wrap around the capillaries of the glomerulus. These structures work together to filter blood, allowing water and small molecules to pass into the Bowman's capsule while retaining larger molecules and blood cells.
