Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The glomeruli are small round clusters of capillaries (microscopic blood vessels) that are surrounded by a double-walled capsule, called Bowman’s capsule. Bowman’s capsule in turn connects with a long tubule. The capsule and attached tubule are known as a nephron.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fenestrated capillaries are especially important in your kidneys. They exist in and near the nephrons (the filtering units). You have about a million nephrons in each kidney. Inside each one is a bundle of fenestrated capillaries called a glomerulus.
