Indicate whether the following statements are true or false : (c) Protein-free fluid is filtered from blood plasma into the Bowman’s capsule.
Explanation The epithelial cells of Bowman’s capsule are arranged in an intricate manner so as to leave some minute spaces called filtration slits. Blood is filtered so finely through these membranes that almost all the constituents of the plasma except the proteins pass onto the lumen of the Bowman’s capsule. Therefore, it is considered as a process of ultrafiltration. Final Answer The cells of Bowman’s capsule creates some minute spaces called filtration slit through which blood is filtered finely so that all the constituents of the plasma except the proteins pass through it. This type of filtration is considered as ultrafiltration.
