Match the cell type to the function performed.
Nephron epithelial cell.
Group of answer choices
provides structural support for filtration
transport solutes into ISF
contain blood in vessels
creates electrical impulses
Nephron epithelial cells - provides structual support for filteration
Explanation :
Nephron is a tubular structure which extends from Bowmans capsule to the collecting duct.
Filteration occur at filteration membrane betwen glomeular capillary endothelium and viceral layer of epithelium of Bowmans capsule.
Viceral Epithelium has fenistration slit and it helps in filtration. Parital epithelium gives support for filteration. The space between thr Viceral and parital epithelium is the space for collection of filterate.
Hence, the best answer here is PROVIDES THE STRUCTURAL SUPPORT FOR FILTERATION.
IF MORE THAN ONE OPTION CAN BE SELECTED, THEN TRANSPORT OF SOLUTE TO INTERSTITIUM IS ALSO CORRECT ANSWER.
The epithelium of the PCT, DCT and Loop of Henle all are involved in the reabsorbtion and section of the solute.
In ascending limb of loop of henle, the epithelial cells along with vasa recra are responsible for transporting solute interstitium, for creating medullary Osmolarity of interstitium.
Hence, this option TRANSPORT OF SOLUTE TO ISM is alos correct.
