THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nephron consists of the renal corpuscle and the renal tubule.

Detailed explanation-3: -The renal corpuscle comprises the glomerulus, a tuft of blood capillaries supplied by an afferent and an efferent, and an efferent arteriole that invaginates and invests itself of the inner (visceral) layer of Bowman’s capsule.

Detailed explanation-4: -The glomerulus is a tuft of capillaries located within Bowman’s capsule within the kidney. Glomerular mesangial cells structurally support the tufts. Blood enters the capillaries of the glomerulus by a single arteriole called an afferent arteriole and leaves by an efferent arteriole.
