The renal corpuscle is composed of two main structures: Bowman's capsule, which is a cup-like sac at the beginning of the tubular component of a nephron, and the glomerulus, which is a network of capillaries encased in the Bowman's capsule. Together, they function in the filtration of blood to form urine.
