Detailed explanation-1: -As blood flows into each nephron, it enters a cluster of tiny blood vessels-the glomerulus. The thin walls of the glomerulus allow smaller molecules, wastes, and fluid-mostly water-to pass into the tubule.
Detailed explanation-2: -The nephron is the minute or microscopic structural and functional unit of the kidney. It is composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscle consists of a tuft of capillaries called a glomerulus and a cup-shaped structure called Bowman’s capsule. The renal tubule extends from the capsule.
Detailed explanation-3: -Filtration of the blood plasma takes place in the renal corpuscle. This is the proximal end of the nephron, which is expanded into an ovoid structure. The renal corpuscles are always found in the renal cortex.
