Accepted Answer

The glomerular (Bowman's) capsule and the glomerulus make up the renal corpuscle, which is the first part of the nephron responsible for filtering blood and producing urine. The renal pyramid, nephron loop (loop of Henle), renal papilla, and collecting tubule system are all other parts of the nephron, but not specifically related to the glomerular capsule and glomerulus.
