Detailed explanation-1: -A nephron has two parts: a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscle consists of a cluster of capillaries, called the glomerulus, surrounded by a double-layered epithelial cup, called the glomerular capsule.

Detailed explanation-2: -The glomerulus filters your blood As blood flows into each nephron, it enters a cluster of tiny blood vessels-the glomerulus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Structure and Function Blood enters the glomerulus through the afferent arteriole at the vascular pole, undergoes filtration in the glomerular capillaries, and exits the glomerulus through the efferent arteriole at the vascular pole.

Detailed explanation-4: -Peritubular capillaries help your urinary system get rid of waste. They move waste and excess water through your kidney’s nephrons (filtering units).
