Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A glomerulus is the network of capillaries that resides in the Bowman’s capsule that functions as a filtration unit of kidney. The glomerular function ensures that essential plasma proteins are retained in blood and the filtrate is passed on as urine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glomeruli are clusters of capillaries that are surrounded by Bowman’s capsules and lined with a single layer of epithelial cells called the parietal epithelium. The afferent arteriole supplies the glomerulus, and the efferent arteriole drains it; the proximal tubule drains filtrate from the Bowman’s space.
