Show Hint

Podocytes are the cells of Bowman's capsule with slit-like gaps.
Updated On: Nov 12, 2026
  • Bowman's capsule - Urinary pole
  • Ascending limb of loop of Henle - Thin walled.
  • Collecting ducts - Renal cortex
  • Podocytes - Filtration slits

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
The nephron has a renal corpuscle and a tubule. Each part has typical structural features.

Step 2: Check the pairs
Podocytes form the inner wall of Bowman's capsule, and their foot processes leave narrow filtration slits. This pair is correct.
In the loop of Henle the descending limb is thin-walled and the ascending limb is mostly thick-walled.

Step 3: Why the other pairs fail
Collecting ducts run from the cortex down through the medulla, so they are not confined to the cortex. The urinary pole is not a feature that matches the capsule as a pair.

Final Answer:
The correct match is podocytes with filtration slits. \[ \boxed{\text{(D) }\text{Podocytes - Filtration slits}} \]
