What are the three layers through which blood is filtered by the glomerulus?
  1. Epithelium of Bowman's capsule, endothelium of glomerular blood vessels, and basement membrane.
  2. Endothelium of glomerular blood vessels, basement membrane, and epithelium of Bowman's capsule.
  3. Basement membrane, epithelium of Bowman's capsule, and endothelium of glomerular blood vessels.
  4. Endothelium of glomerular blood vessels, basement membrane, and glomerular capillary blood pressure.

Solution

The glomerular capillary blood pressure causes filtration of blood through three layers: the endothelium of glomerular blood vessels, the epithelium of Bowman's capsule, and the basement membrane between these two layers.
