Components	It consists of an inner and an outer wall with a space between them.	It consists of the glomerulus enclosed within Bowman's capsule.
Location	It forms the beginning of the nephron and is located in the renal cortex.	It is also located in the cortex at the beginning of the renal tubule.
Function	It receives the glomerular filtrate produced during ultrafiltration.	It performs ultrafiltration of blood through the glomerulus and collects the filtrate in the capsule.
Relation	It is one part of the Malpighian body.	It is a larger unit that includes both Bowman's capsule and the glomerulus.
