I am looking for the same answer too.... so I am not sure if I am right...
My book says that simple squamous epithelium is used at the filtration membrane of the kidney i guess that they are implying the glomerular capsule but I am not sure.
However it does make sense as simple squamous allows for rapid diffusion of material.

What does the glomerular capsule surround?
The glomerular capsule surrounds the glomerulus.
What is the glomerulus encased in?
Glomerular capsule or Bowman capsule
What are the three layers through which the filtrate must pass starting from inside the glomerular capillary through to the urinary space?
Glomerular Capillary Endothelium, Glomerular Basement Membrane, Visceral layer of Bowman's Capsule
Is glomerular hydrostatic pressure the same as hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capsule?
No, glomerular hydrostatic pressure refers to the pressure within the glomerular capillaries of the kidney, while hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capsule refers to the pressure within Bowman's capsule surrounding the glomerulus. The difference in these pressures influences the filtration of blood in the renal corpuscle.
What is the section of the renal tubule closest to the glomerular capsule?
The proximal convoluted tubule is closest to the glomerular capsule. The distal convoluted tubule is farther away.
What part does not contain fully formed urine urinary bladder urethra ureter renal pelvis glomerular capsule?
The glomerular capsule does not contain fully-formed urine.
What are the two layers of the glomerular capsule called?
Renal Corpuscle
What ithe name of the capsule of the kidneys that encloses this bundle?
The Bowman's capsule or glomerular capsule if you're talking about the glomerulus bundle
What visceral membrane forms part of the filtration membrane?
glomerular capsule
Where and how does process of glomerular filtration occur?
it occurs in the glomerulare (Bowman's) capsule.
What is the name of a hollow bulb at the proximal end of the nephron?
glomerular capsule.
Materials are driven out of the glomerulus into the glomerular capsule because of?
osmotic pressure
