- Which of the following does not contribute to the process of filtration? (a) active transport by epithelial cells lining renal tubules (b) large surface area for filtration (c) low permeability of glomerular capillaries (d) high hydrostatic blood pressure in glomerular capillaries (e) podocytesarrow_forwardPlace the following structurees of the internal kidney in the correct order in which urine passes through them. A. Major calyx B. Renal tubule C. Renal corpuscle D. Minor calyx E. Renal pelvisarrow_forwardA histological specimen of kidney shows a structure which consist of a glomerulus with fenestrated capillaries and bilayer epithelial capsule. Specify this structure: a.
