The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question states that "protein-free fluid is filtered from blood plasma into the Bowman’s capsule." We need to determine if this statement is true or false. 2. **Identifying the Process**: The process involved here is known as ultrafiltration, which occurs in the nephron, the functional unit of the kidney. 3. **Role of the Glomerulus**: The glomerulus, a network of capillaries, plays a crucial role in this filtration process. Blood enters the glomerulus under high pressure, which facilitates the filtration of blood. 4. **Filtration Layers**: The filtration occurs through three layers: - **Endothelium**: The inner layer of the glomerular blood vessels. - **Basement Membrane**: A middle layer that acts as a barrier. - **Epithelium of Bowman's Capsule**: This outer layer consists of specialized cells known as podocytes. 5. **Podocytes and Slit Pores**: The podocytes have an intricate arrangement with slit pores that allow certain substances to pass through while preventing larger molecules, such as proteins, from entering the Bowman’s capsule. 6. **Outcome of Filtration**: As a result of this filtration process, a protein-free fluid (filtrate) is formed from the blood plasma and is collected in the Bowman’s capsule. 7. **Conclusion**: Since the statement accurately describes the process of ultrafiltration where protein-free fluid is indeed filtered from blood plasma into the Bowman’s capsule, we conclude that the statement is **true**.
