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.
These 10 animal facts will amaze you. A Bowman's capsule is part of the filtration system in the kidneys. When blood reaches the kidneys for filtration, it hits this area first, with the capsule separating the blood into two components: a cleaned blood product, and a filtrate that is moved through the nephron, another structure in the kidneys.
