Worked practice questions

As per your syllabus, what is the cup-shaped structure at the start of each nephron that collects the FILTRATE from the capillary cluster?

  1. Glomerulus alone (the capillary cluster itself)
  2. Ureter
  3. Bowman's capsule
  4. Renal artery
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Bowman's capsule
