heya friend!!
heres your answer!!
A glomerulus is a network of capillaries located at the beginning of a nephron in the kidney. It serves as the first stage in the filtering process of the blood carried out by the nephron in its formation of urine.The filtrate then enters the renal tubule, of the nephron. The glomerulus receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole of the renal arterial circulation. ... The rate at which blood is filtered through all of the glomeruli, and thus the measure of the overall renal function, is the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
hope it helps you!!

In the kidney, a tiny ball-shaped structure composed of capillary blood vessels actively involved in the filtration of the blood to form urine. The glomerulus is one of the key structures that make up the nephron, the functional unit of the kidney...☺️☺️
