Incorrect. Podocytes play a role in maintaining the integrity of the filtration barrier, but they are not the primary component responsible for preventing protein loss.
Incorrect. Bowman's capsule is involved in the initial filtration of blood components but does not play a direct role in preventing protein loss.
