The _______ Consists of a Cluster of Capillaries

Question

The _______ consists of a cluster of capillaries.
A) renal corpuscle
B) glomerulus
C) Bowman's capsule
D) nephron

Accepted Answer

The glomerulus is a cluster of capillaries that filters blood in the renal corpuscle of the nephron. Bowman's capsule surrounds the glomerulus and together they make up the renal corpuscle. Therefore, choices A, C and D are either incomplete or encompass more than just the cluster of capillaries.
