Explanation:

GLOMERULUS.

The kidney is an organ responsible for the excretion of nitrogenous wastes from the human body and osmoregulation of the blood and body fluids. The structure which is responsible for formation of urine is the nephron( kidney tubule). The GLOMERULUS are found within the Bowman's capsule of the nephrons. It is made up of specialised bundle of capillary beds which are the only capillary beds that are not surrounded by interstitial fluid in the body. In the glomerulus, blood pressure is high because an arteriole enters and exists the capillary beds which is responsible for the pressure that drives filtration.
