	The glomerulus is a lobulated net-work of convoluted capillary blood vessels, held together by scanty connective tissue. This capillary network is derived from a small arterial twig, the '''afferent vessel''', which enters the capsule, generally at a point opposite to that at which the latter is connected with the tubule; and the resulting vein, the efferent vessel, emerges from the capsule at the same point. The afferent vessel is usually the larger of the two (Fig. [[: File:Gray1129.jpg\|1129]]).

The whole surface of the glomerulus is covered with a continuous layer of the same cells, on a delicate supporting membrane (Fig. 1130).
