Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A glomerulus is a capillary knot contained within the renal corpuscle, which is part of the nephron in the kidney that filters blood to form urine. It is not a portion of the proximal convoluted tubule, occurs in the nephron loop, or filters urine just prior to its exit from the kidney. Therefore, the best choice is B.
