Q39 / 200 · MHT CET - Medical 2026 (25 April Shift 1) · Biology

Select the correct match.

  • A
    Bowman's capsule - Urinary pole
  • B
    Ascending limb of loop of Henle - Thin walled.
  • C
    Collecting ducts - Renal cortex
  • Correct answer
    D
    Podocytes - Filtration slits

Solution

The epithelial cells of Bowman's capsule are called podocytes. They are arranged in an intricate manner so as to leave some minute spaces called filtration slits or slit pores. Blood is filtered so finely through these membranes that almost all the constituents of the blood plasma except the proteins pass onto the lumen of the Bowman's capsule.

The ascending limb of the loop of Henle is thick-walled and impermeable to water, whereas the descending limb is thin-walled.

Collecting ducts are long ducts that extend from the cortex of the kidney to the inner parts of the medulla.

Therefore, the correct match is Podocytes - Filtration slits.

Answer: Podocytes - Filtration slits

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
