Inner lining of the kidney has

Options

(a) nephrocyte
(b) podocyte
(c) choanocyte
(d) amoebocyte

Correct Answer:

podocyte

Explanation:

Podocytes are a layer of specialised epithelial cells in Bowman’s capsule of kidney with major foot like processes, each supporting a sereis of minor processes. These minor processes are interwoven with those from other podocytes to form a number of slits, through which filtration can occur. These slits (approximately 0.1 mm wide) permit the passage of all plasma constituents but act as a barrier to blood cells.
