MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Bowman’s capsule and the glomerulus together are called the renal corpuscle. Bowman’s capsule is a thin-walled cup. Its hollow internal space continues into the tubule and the outer cavity of the cup lodges a knot-like mass of blood capillaries called glomerulus. Renal corpuscle helps in filteration of blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -The renal corpuscle comprises the glomerulus, a tuft of blood capillaries supplied by an afferent and an efferent, and an efferent arteriole that invaginates and invests itself of the inner (visceral) layer of Bowman’s capsule.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bowman’s capsule and the glomerulus together constitute the renal corpuscle. Blood flows into and away from the glomerulus through tiny arteries called arterioles, which reach and leave the glomerulus through the open end of the capsule.
