Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The Glomerulus The term glomerulus, often used to imply the renal corpuscle, is a knot of capillaries that links the afferent and efferent arterioles within the renal corpuscle. These unusual capillaries receive blood at relatively high pressure (70 mmHg), and are both fed and drained by arterioles.
