Filtration occurs in the renal corpuscle.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

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: -Blood flows into your kidney through the renal artery. This large blood vessel branches into smaller and smaller blood vessels until the blood reaches the nephrons. In the nephron, your blood is filtered by the tiny blood vessels of the glomeruli and then flows out of your kidney through the renal vein.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glomerular filtration is the first step of urine formation which occurs in the renal corpuscle (glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule) of a nephron.

Detailed explanation-4: -Biologically, cell filtration occurs passively through the epithelial membrane, wherein cells flush the undesirable substance out of the cell.
