Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Each nephron in your kidneys has a microscopic filter, called a glomerulus that is constantly filtering your blood. Blood that is about to be filtered enters a glomerulus, which is a tuft of blood capillaries (the smallest of blood vessels).
Detailed explanation-2: -The glomerulus is clinically significant because it is the location where filtration in the kidney begins. All actions of the nephron downstream of the glomeruli rely on the passage of filtrate from the glomerular capillaries into Bowman’s space.
