ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The glomerulus is surrounded by a cup-like sac known as Bowman’s capsule. The blood plasma is filtered through the capillaries of the glomerulus into the capsule. The Bowman’s capsule empties the filtrate into the proximal tubule that is also part of the duct system of the nephron.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each glomerulus is surrounded by a “C"-shaped structure called the Bowman’s Capsule. It is here that materials such as urea, salts, water, glucose, & others pass from the blood into the nephron.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bowman’s capsule and the glomerulus make up the renal corpuscle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each nephron contains a network of small blood vessels, called glomerulus, which are enclosed in a sac called Bowman’s capsule.

Detailed explanation-5: -The glomerulus and its surrounding Bowman’s capsule constitute a renal corpuscle, the basic filtration unit of the kidney.
