ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The function of glomerulus is to filter the blood passing through it and initiate urine formation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Under normal conditions, high molecular weight proteins in the plasma (e.g., albumin and globulin) cannot pass through the filtration membrane due to the effects of the size barrier and charge barrier of the glomerular capillary filtration membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -The glomerulus filters your blood As blood flows into each nephron, it enters a cluster of tiny blood vessels-the glomerulus. The thin walls of the glomerulus allow smaller molecules, wastes, and fluid-mostly water-to pass into the tubule. Larger molecules, such as proteins and blood cells, stay in the blood vessel.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bowman’s capsule surrounds the glomerular capillary loops and participates in the filtration of blood from the glomerular capillaries. Bowman’s capsule also has a structural function and creates a urinary space through which filtrate can enter the nephron and pass to the proximal convoluted tubule.
