The coelomic (SEE-loh-mihk) sac, found in the coxal glands of crustaceans, is analogous to this microscopic structure in mammals. It has both vascular and urinary poles, and Bright's disease causes this structure to become blocked with crystals and epithelial cells. Ultrafiltering podocytes in this structure can collect solutes smaller than eight nanometers, explaining the high concentration of salt and sugar in its lumen. The proximal tubule links this structure to the loop of Henle and it form

The proximal tubule links this structure to the loop of Henle and it forms the renal corpuscle together with the structure it surrounds, the glomeru- lus. Named for a nineteenth-century anatomist, identify this cup-like component of the nephron that first collects the blood filtrate during urine production.
