The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Malpighian Capsule**: The Malpighian capsule, also known as the renal corpuscle, is a crucial structure in the nephron of the kidney. 2. **Identifying the Components**: The Malpighian capsule is made up of two main parts: - **Bowman's Capsule**: This is a cup-like structure that encases the glomerulus. It is the initial part of the nephron where filtration begins. - **Glomerulus**: This is a network of capillaries that is involved in the filtration of blood. It is located within the Bowman's capsule. 3. **Function of the Malpighian Capsule**: The primary function of the Malpighian capsule is to facilitate ultra-filtration of blood, which is essential for the formation of urine and the excretion of waste products. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the two regions that together constitute the Malpighian capsule are Bowman's capsule and glomerulus. **Final Answer**: Bowman's capsule and glomerulus. ---
