Glomerular filtration -

The glomerular capillary blood pressure causes filtration of blood through 3 layers, i.e

- wherein

The endothelium of glomerular blood vessels, the epithelium of Bowman’s capsule and a basement membrane between these two layers. The epithelial cells of Bowman’s capsule called podocytes are arranged in an intricate manner so as to leave some minute spaces called filtration slits or slit pores.
