Question

Explain the Term: The Bowman’s capsule

Answer 1

The Bowman’s capsule is also called the Nephric capsule and represents the free end of the nephron. The Bowman’s capsule is a double-walled cup-like structure which lies in the cortex of the kidney. The glomerular filtrate which leaves the blood capillaries of the glomerulus during ultrafiltration enter the capsule and then passes to the first part of the nephric tubule.
