In each nephron, the inner end forms a cup-shaped swelling, called:
Correct answer: B. Bowman's Capsule
- A. Glomerulus
- B. Bowman's Capsule
- C. Renal Pyramid
- D. Renal Hilus
Explanation
Bowman's capsule, also known as the Bowman capsule or glomerular capsule, is a cup-like sac at the beginning of the tubular component of a nephron in mammalian kidneys.

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.

In each nephron, inner end forms a cup shaped swelling around a ball of capillaries called :
It circulates blood through a capsule in a nephron :
Blood is specially filtered in glomerulus because glomerular walls are porous, and the fraction of reaching here provides the filtration pressure :
