NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -The nephron is the minute or microscopic structural and functional unit of the kidney. It is composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscle consists of a tuft of capillaries called a glomerulus and a cup-shaped structure called Bowman’s capsule. The renal tubule extends from the capsule.

Detailed explanation-2: -Filtration occurs in the glomerulus of the nephron. The glomerulus is a capillary bed within the nephron, and filtration of fluid out of the glomerulus occurs both as a result of the structure of the nephron, and of Starling’s forces. The glomerulus is part of the vascular structure of the nephron.
