What capsule is part of the renal corpuscle that surrounds the glomerulus of the nephron?
Bowman's
Which part of the kidney filters blood?
The structure that filters the blood in the kidneys is the nephron, or more specifically the glomerulus.
What is the cup-shaped part of the nephron?
The cup-shaped part of the nephron is called the renal (or Bowman's) capsule. It is located at the beginning of the nephron and surrounds the glomerulus, which is a network of capillaries. The renal capsule helps in the filtration of blood and the formation of urine.
Filtration occurs at the -------- part of the nephron?
In the Glomerules
Blood is filtered through---------the of the nephron?
The glomerulus.
Which section of the tubule is connected to the glomerulus?
The Bowman's capsule surrounds the glomerulus, and the glomerulus filtrate enters the top of the nephron.
What capsule is part of the renal corpuscle that surrounds the glomerulus of the nephron?
Bowman's
What is the term for the entire functional structure unit of the kidney from glomerulus through collecting tubule?
Nephron
What is the structure of glomerulus?
The glomerulus is a cluster of capillaries that can be found in the kidney. Each cluster is next to a Bowman's capsule, which is the "filter unit" of the nephron. Blood passes from the renal artery into the glomerulus at high pressure, allowing small substances to diffuse into the nephron, via the Bowman's capsule.

Which organ filters urea out of the blood?
