Question

the \knot\ of capillaries where filtration occurs is called the

glomular capsule

glomerulus

proximal convoluted tube

rewatch

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The glomerulus is a network (knot) of capillaries located at the beginning of a nephron in the kidney. It is the site of filtration in the nephron, where blood is filtered to form the filtrate that will eventually become urine. The glomerular capsule (Bowman's capsule) surrounds the glomerulus but is not the knot of capillaries itself. The proximal convoluted tubule is involved in reabsorption, not filtration.

Answer:

Glomerulus
