A glomerulus+Bowman’s capsule+renal tubule.
A
urinary tract
B
renal pelvis
C
kidney
D
nephron
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bowman’s capsule is a part of the nephron which is a part of your kidney. The nephron is the filtering unit of your kidney. There are about 1 million nephrons in each kidney. Every nephron has a glomerulus, which is a group of tiny blood vessels and the starting point for filtering waste products out of your blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each nephron contains a network of small blood vessels, called glomerulus, which are enclosed in a sac called Bowman’s capsule. The filtered waste product (urine) flows through tiny tubes and is then passed from the kidneys to the bladder through bigger tubes called ureters.

Detailed explanation-3: -The glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule collectively are known as the renal corpuscle. Where the podocytes and the endothelial cells of the glomerulus contact each other, the two basal laminae fuse. Podocytes (see Fig.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bowman’s capsule is a cup-like sack at the beginning of the tubular component of a nephron in the mammalian kidney that performs the first step in the filtration of blood to form urine. The glomerulus is a tuft of small blood vessels called capillaries located within Bowman’s capsule within the kidney.
