Detailed explanation-1: -Blood is filtered in the kidneys through nephrons. Each nephron contains a network of small blood vessels, called glomerulus, which are enclosed in a sac called Bowman’s capsule.

Detailed explanation-2: -The kidney has an outer rim (cortex) and an inner core (medulla). Each kidney contains approximately 500, 000 glomeruli, which are small balls of capillaries (diameter 0.1 mm) through which the blood is filtered. Glomeruli are present only in the cortex.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each nephron consists of a ball formed of small blood capillaries, called a glomerulus, and a small tube called a renal tubule. Urea, together with water and other waste substances, forms the urine as it passes through the nephrons and down the renal tubules of the kidney.

Detailed explanation-4: -The glomerulus (plural glomeruli) is a network of small blood vessels (capillaries) known as a tuft, located at the beginning of a nephron in the kidney.
