Question

What is glomerulus.....???

Answer 1

${\mathfrak{\red{\underline{\underline{Glomerulus:-}}}}}$

✭ Glomerulus is a network of capillaries present at the top of the nephron which act as a filter when blood passes through the nephron. The blood flow enters the glomerulus and passes through it towards the tubule of nephron. While passing through glomerulus the larger particle like blood cells, proteins, fat particles get obstructed here and the liquid portion of the blood with smaller particles flow out of it.
