Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where is the glomerulus found?
A
Around a convoluted tubule
B
In the loop of Henle
C
In the Bowman’s capsule
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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 .

Detailed explanation-2: -Bowman’s capsule and the glomerulus make up the renal corpuscle. They are all parts of the kidney.

Detailed explanation-3: -The kidneys remove excess fluid and waste from your body. Blood is filtered in the kidneys through nephrons. Each nephron contains a network of small blood vessels, called glomerulus, which are enclosed in a sac called Bowman’s capsule.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bowman’s capsule encloses a cluster of microscopic blood vessels-capillaries-called the glomerulus, where wastes are filtered from the blood.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hence, the glomerulus is situated in the proximal end of the urinary tubule within the Bowman’s capsule in the renal cortex of the kidney.
