text: in kidneys, is the blood from renal artery passed first into the glomerulus or bowmans capsule? hi there , just wondering this biology, fairly basic answers would be preffered, and also if you can mention the purpose of the glomerulus and the bowmans capsule, thanks a  lot :) fluids are first passed into the glomerulus, which is the site of fliltration. they are then sent to the bowman's capsule, which receives the filtered fluids from the glomerulus, and begins its process of being formed into urine.
