Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which part of the renal capsule is a network of capillaries?
A
Bowman’s Capsule
B
Glomerulus
C
Afferent arteriole
D
Peritubular Capillaries
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The glomerulus is the network of capillaries present in the Bowman’s capsule.

Detailed explanation-2: -The renal corpuscle, located in the renal cortex, is made up of a network of capillaries known as the glomerulus and the capsule, a cup-shaped chamber that surrounds it, called the glomerular or Bowman’s capsule.

Detailed explanation-3: -The glomerulus is a network of capillaries known as a tuft located at the beginning of nephrons in the kidney. Intraglomerular mesangial cells support the structure of the tuft. The blood in the tuft is filter’s capsule. Then the filtrate of water and soluble substances enters the renal tubules of the nephron.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
