Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Each glomerulus is surrounded by a “C"-shaped structure called the Bowman’s Capsule. It is here that materials such as urea, salts, water, glucose, & others pass from the blood into the nephron.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each nephron contains a network of small blood vessels, called glomerulus, which are enclosed in a sac called Bowman’s capsule.

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.

Detailed explanation-5: -It’s also described as being “cup-like.” The capsule is made up of two layers. One is the outer layer, called the parietal layer. This layer is made of body tissue known as simple squamous epithelium.
