Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Filtration occurs through the glomerular capillary pores, basement membrane, and filtration slits, which are all part of the filtration barrier in the renal corpuscle. Podocytes are a type of cell that form a layer around the glomerular capillaries and help to maintain the integrity of the filtration barrier, but they do not directly participate in the filtration process. Therefore, filtrate does not pass through podocytes.
