Bowman's Capsule: Anatomy, Function & Conditions - Cleveland Clinic
WEBApr 25, 2022 · Bowman’s capsule is a two-walled pouch that covers the glomerulus. The space in between the walls of the capsule is called Bowman’s space. Bowman’s capsule is known by other names, including the glomerular capsule, the Malpighian capsule and the renal corpuscular capsule.

WEBAug 7, 2023 · Bowman’s capsule surrounds the glomerular capillary loops and participates in the filtration of blood from the glomerular capillaries. Bowman’s capsule also has a structural function and creates a urinary space through which filtrate can enter the nephron and pass to the proximal convoluted tubule.
Bowman's capsule - Wikipedia
WEBBowman'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.
Bowman’s Capsule | Anatomy & Function | Britannica
WEBBowman’s capsule, double-walled cuplike structure that makes up part of the nephron, the filtration structure in the mammalian kidney that generates urine in the process of removing waste and excess substances from the blood. The capsule encloses a cluster of capillaries called the glomerulus.
Glomerular capsule: Anatomy and function - Kenhub
WEBMar 18, 2024 · The glomerular capsule, also known as Bowman's capsule, is the blind expanded end of a renal tubule. It is a double layered epithelial capsule surrounding the glomerulus. The glomerular capsule together with the glomerulus are termed the renal corpuscle, the site of blood filtration within the kidneys.
Bowman Capsule – An Overview - Taylor & Francis
WEBA Bowman capsule, also known as a glomerular capsule, is a sac-like structure made up of epithelial cells located at the outer end of each nephron. It consists of a parietal epithelial layer that collects the filtrate before it enters the lumen of the tubular portion of the nephron.

WEBAug 7, 2023 · Bowman’s capsule is a part of the nephron that forms a cup-like sack surrounding the glomerulus. Bowman’s capsule encloses a space called “Bowman’s space,” which represents the beginning of the urinary space and is contiguous with the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron.
Bowman Capsule - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
WEBProviding a complement to the ball shape of the glomerular capillary tuft, the Bowman's capsule is a hollow crescent whose lumen receives the glomerular filtrate from the glomerular capillaries. The lumen of the Bowman's capsule is also continuous with the nephron lumen distally.
Glomerulus: Anatomy, structure and functions - Kenhub
WEBOct 30, 2023 · The glomerulus is the main filtering unit of the kidney. It is formed by a network of small blood vessels (capillaries) enclosed within a sac called the Bowman's capsule. The space inside the capsule that surrounds the glomeruli is known as the Bowman's space.
