Farther along the tubule expands into a Malpighian or renal corpuscle (fig. 315). This consists of a vesicle (Bowman's capsule), one side of which. FIG. 314.—Diagram of conventionalized excretory tubule. a, ascending limb of Henle's loop; b, Bowman's capsule of Malpighian body; c1—c2, first and second con- voluted tubules; ct, collecting tubule; d, descending limb of Henle's loop; g, glomerulus of Malpighian body; with artery and vein; h, Henle's loop; n, nephrostome opening into ccelom; x, entrance of other tubules into collecting duct. projects into the other, nearly filling the cavity. This inturned portion is the glomerulus. It consists of a network of capillary blood-vessels, supplied by an artery and drained by a vein. Beyond the connexion of the Malpighian body the tubule becomes contorted or convoluted and its cells are strongly glandular in character. This first convoluted tubule is succeeded by a nearly straight tract, folded once on itself into.
