How do the podocytes in Bowman’s capsules perform filtration? (1 point)

Answer 1

The podocytes in Bowman's capsules perform filtration through their specialized structure called foot processes. These foot processes interdigitate with each other to form filtration slits which allow small molecules to pass through but prevent larger molecules like proteins from getting filtered. This selective permeability of the podocytes allows them to filter blood and form the primary urine in the kidney.
