NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is option (d) glomerulus. A ball of capillaries forming part of the renal corpuscle in the kidneys is a glomerulus.

Detailed explanation-2: -The glomerulus, the filtering unit of the kidney, is a unique bundle of capillaries lined by delicate fenestrated endothelia, a complex mesh of proteins that serve as the glomerular basement membrane and specialized visceral epithelial cells that form the slit diaphragms between interdigitating foot processes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Renal Corpuscle. As discussed earlier, the renal corpuscle consists of a tuft of capillaries called the glomerulus that is largely surrounded by Bowman’s (glomerular) capsule.

Detailed explanation-4: -The renal corpuscle (filtration unit, which comprises the glomerulus and the surrounding glomerular or Bowman’s capsule) and tubules (reabsorption and excretion) of the kidney perform the majority of these kidney functions.
