Detailed explanation-1: -The renal corpuscle consists of several histological structures (FIG 1): Glomerulus capillaries form a central tuft of looped capillaries located in the center of the renal corpuscle. These capillaries deliver blood and create a large surface area for renal filtration. These capillaries are optimized for filtration.
Detailed explanation-2: -The glomerular capsule is also referred to as the Bowman’s capsule. It has a space known as the Bowman’s space where the renal filtrate collects. This capsule also encloses the glomerulus, which performs the filtration of the blood.
Detailed explanation-3: -renal corpuscle, also called malpighian body, filtration unit of vertebrate nephrons, functional units of the kidney. It consists of a knot of capillaries (glomerulus) surrounded by a double-walled capsule (Bowman’s capsule) that opens into a tubule.
