Which of the following is a cup-shaped part of nephron with which each capillary cluster in the kidney is associated?
Proximal convoluted tubule
Bowman's capsule
Distal convoluted tubule
Glomerulus
Bowman's capsule
Structure of Bowman's Capsule in the Nephron
Nephron Filtration Anatomy
Each nephron begins with a cup-shaped sac called Bowman's capsule, which encloses a cluster of capillaries known as the glomerulus.
Bowman's capsule is the double-walled cup
Filtration Function
Together, the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule constitute the Malpighian body (renal corpuscle), where blood ultrafiltration occurs under pressure.
Ultrafiltration takes place in Bowman's capsule
Option B is correct тАФ Bowman's capsule
