Which of the following is NOT part of the filtration membrane?

a- endothelial cells of the glomerulus

b- basal lamina of the glomerulus

c- filtration slits formed by podocytes

d- squamous epithelial cells of the glomerular capsule

Expert Solution

Answer

The structure that is NOT part of the filtration membrane is : Squamous epithelial cells of the glomerular capsule

Filteration membrane is composed of three layers.
- Glomerular endothelium
- Visceral layer (podocytes)
- Basement membrane of basal lamina.
Hence, squamous epithelial cells of the glomerular capsule is not a part of filteration membrane.

Option D
