NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -The rest of the nephron consists of a continuous sophisticated tubule whose proximal end surrounds the glomerulus in an intimate embrace-this is Bowman’s capsule. The glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule together form the renal corpuscle.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The proximal end of the tubule that surrounds the glomerulus and catches the filtered fluid is the glomerular (Bowman’s) capsule. The glomerulus and glomerular capsule together form the renal corpuscle.

Detailed explanation-4: -The glomerulus and its surrounding Bowman’s capsule constitute a renal corpuscle, the basic filtration unit of the kidney. The rate at which blood is filtered through all of the glomeruli, and thus the measure of the overall kidney function, is the glomerular filtration rate.
