The filtration barrier in the renal corpuscle consists of three layers: the endothelium of the glomerulus, the dense layer of the glomerulus, and the podocyte filtration slits. The endothelium of the glomerulus contains fenestrations which allow for the passage of small molecules, while the dense layer acts as a physical barrier to prevent larger molecules from passing through. The podocytes have foot processes that interdigitate with each other and form filtration slits, which act as the final barrier to prevent the passage of larger molecules.
