ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The proximal convoluted tubule connects to the descending loop of Henle.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. Bowman’s capsule is a two-walled pouch that covers the glomerulus. The space in between the walls of the capsule is called Bowman’s space.

Detailed explanation-3: -The proximal convoluted tubule is the tubular segment of the nephron that connects the renal corpuscle to the proximal straight tubule and ultimately to the loop of Henle. It is located in the renal cortex of the medulla and functions in both reabsorption and secretion.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Bowman’s capsule opens up into a series of tubules (proximal tubule, loop of Henle, and distal tubule) and then into the collecting duct, all of which are lined by a continuous layer of epithelial cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
