In each nephron, inner end forms a cup shaped swelling around a ball of capillaries called :
Correct answer: A. Bowman's Capsule
- A. Bowman's Capsule
- B. Glomerulus
- C. Loop of Henle
- D. Renal Pelvis
Explanation
The ball of capillaries is called the glomerulus, which is surrounded by a cup-shaped structure called Bowman's capsule. The glomerulus circulates the blood within the cup-shaped Bowman's capsule.

About Homeostasis
Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.

Blood is specially filtered in glomerulus because glomerular walls are porous, and the fraction of reaching here provides the filtration pressure :
