Which one of the following correctly explains the function of a specific part of a human nephron/

Options

(a) podocytes : create minutespaces (slite pores) for the filtration of blood into the Bowman’s capsule
(b) Henle’s loop : most reabsorption of the major substances from the glomerular filtrate
(c) Distal convoluted tubule : reabsorption of K⁺ ions into the surrounding blood capillaries
(d) Afferent arteriole : carries the blood away from the glomerular towards renal vein.

Correct Answer:

podocytes : create minutespaces (slite pores) for the filtration of blood into the Bowman’s capsule

Explanation:

Glome podocytes are highly specialized cells with a complex cytoarchitecture plays a major role in establishing the selective permeability of glomerular filtration barrier.
