2. Double-walled

⇢ The inner wall of the capsule is in close contact with the glomerular capillaries.

⇢ The outer wall is continuous with the rest of the nephron

3. The space between the two walls of the capsule leads to a proximal convoluted tubule.

2. Glomerulus:

1. A network of microscopic blood capillaries.
2. Bowman’s capsule encloses the glomerulus.
3. Blood enters the glomerulus through Afferent arterioles .
4. Efferent arterioles carry away blood that has already been filtered from the glomerulus.
