What is located within the glomerular capsule?
A
the renal cortex
B
a knot of capillaries
C
the loop of nephron
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bowman’s capsule encloses a cluster of microscopic blood vessels-capillaries-called the glomerulus, where wastes are filtered from the blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -The malpighian body lies in the cortex of the kidney. It is differentiated into two parts namely the Bowman’s capsule, and glomerulus. The knot-like mass of blood capillary inside the Bowman’s capsule is known as Glomerulus.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is located within the glomerular capsule? *The glomerulus, a knot of capillaries, is located inside the glomerular capsule. A nephron is a two-way system with glomerular filtrate traveling back and forth within the nephron.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Glomerulus The term glomerulus, often used to imply the renal corpuscle, is a knot of capillaries that links the afferent and efferent arterioles within the renal corpuscle.

Detailed explanation-5: -Capillaries of the glomerulus are lined by endothelial cells. These contain numerous pores-also called fenestrae-, 50–100 nm in diameter. Unlike those of other capillaries with fenestrations, these fenestrations are not spanned by diaphragms.
