Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nephrons are the cells of kidney which are composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscle is also known Malpighian body. It consists of cup like double walled structure known as Bowman’s capsule and the bunch of capillaries present in the Bowman’s capsule is known as glomerulus.

Detailed explanation-2: -A nephron has two parts: a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscle consists of a cluster of capillaries, called the glomerulus, surrounded by a double-layered epithelial cup, called the glomerular capsule.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bowman’s capsule encloses a cluster of microscopic blood vessels-capillaries-called the glomerulus, where wastes are filtered from the blood.

Detailed explanation-4: -Peritubular capillaries help your urinary system get rid of waste. They move waste and excess water through your kidney’s nephrons (filtering units).

Detailed explanation-5: -The glomerulus is a cluster of capillary loops enclosed by Bowman’s capsule, which is part of the renal tubule. Bowman’s capsule has two layers: The visceral layer is in contact with the glormerulus, and is composed of specialized epithelial cells known as podocytes.
