The capsule and glomerulus make up the
A
Renal pyramid
B
Nephron loop
C
Proximal convoluted tubule
D
Renal corpuscle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bowman’s capsule and the glomerulus make up the renal corpuscle. They are all parts of the kidney. Your kidneys have many important jobs, including controlling the pH balance of your blood, regulating blood pressure and maintaining electrolyte balance.

Detailed explanation-2: -The renal corpuscle comprises the glomerulus, a tuft of blood capillaries supplied by an afferent and an efferent, and an efferent arteriole that invaginates and invests itself of the inner (visceral) layer of Bowman’s capsule.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Bowman’s capsule and the glomerulus together are called the renal corpuscle. Bowman’s capsule is a thin-walled cup. Its hollow internal space continues into the tubule and the outer cavity of the cup lodges a knot-like mass of blood capillaries called glomerulus. Renal corpuscle helps in filteration of blood.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bowman’s capsule and the glomerulus together constitute the renal corpuscle.

Detailed explanation-5: -The renal corpuscle is responsible for the filtration of the plasma. It contains two structures: the glormerulus and Bowman’s capsule. The glomerulus is a cluster of capillary loops enclosed by Bowman’s capsule, which is part of the renal tubule.
