Bowman's capsule (or the Bowman capsule, capsula glomeruli, or glomerular capsule) is a cup-like sac at the beginning of the tubular component of a nephron in the mammalian kidney that performs the first step in the filtration of blood to form urine. glomerulus is enclosed in the sac. Fluids from blood in the glomerulus are collected in the Bowman's capsule (i.e., glomerular filtrate) and further processed along the nephron to form urine. This process is known as ultrafiltration.
Bowmanâs Capsule: Bowmanâs Capsule is a âcapsuleâ that contains the Glomerulus and catches the water, electrolytes, and waste products that are being filtered out of the Glomerulus. Itâs sort of like a funnel that catches everything, then allows it to drain into the Proximal Tubule.Voila!lomerulus: The Glomerulus is a network of tiny capillaries that allow the blood to be filtered. With the processes of diffusion and osmosis, waste products, electrolytes, and water start to leave the blood stream and enter Bowmanâs Capsule.
