Which part of the nephron collects the filtered blood content in glomerulus?
A
Loop of Henle
B
Ureter
C
Glomerulus
D
Bowman’s capsule
E
Proximal tube
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The filtration of blood is carried out in renal corpuscle . Glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule together form the renal corpuscle. Glomerulus is a group of blood capillaries that is present in the Bowman’s capsule of nephrons and is the seat, where the process of ultrafiltration takes place.

Detailed explanation-2: -Blood that is about to be filtered enters a glomerulus, which is a tuft of blood capillaries (the smallest of blood vessels). The glomerulus is nestled inside a cup-like sac located at the end of each nephron, called a glomerular capsule.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Final Answer : The liquid which collects in the cavity of Bowman’s capsule is blood plasma minus blood proteins .

Detailed explanation-5: -Fluid and small solutes are forced under pressure to flow from the glomerulus into the capsular space of the glomerular capsule. The Bowman’s capsule is the filtration unit of the glomerulus and has tiny slits in which filtrate may pass through into the nephron.
