It consists of a knot of capillaries (glomerulus) surrounded by a double-walled capsule (Bowman's capsule) that opens into a tubule. (onteenstoday.com)

Peritubular capillaries4
The tubule has adjacent peritubular capillaries that run between the descending and ascending portions of the tubule. (wikipedia.org)
