a four - layered structure that separates blood from the filtrate in bowmans capsule.
a three - layered structure that separates blood from the filtrate in the glomerulus.
a two - layered structure that separates blood from the filtrate in bowmans capsule.
a five - layered structure that separates blood from the filtrate in bowmans capsule.
a three - layered structure that separates blood from the filtrate in bowmans capsule.
