Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Glomerulus. The glomerulus consists of a coil of specialized capillaries projecting into a capsular space (Bowman’s capsule) that opens into the proximal convoluted tubule. The whole structure is called the renal corpuscle, although glomerulus is the term most commonly used for the complete structure.
Detailed explanation-2: -Malpighian corpuscles average about 0.2 mm in diameter, with each capsule composed of two parts: a central glomerulus and a glomerular capsule. The corpuscles are part of a filtering system through which nonprotein components of blood plasma enter the tubules for urinary excretion.
