Kidney Diagram Bowman S Capsule. Bowman s capsule is part of the filtration system in the nephrons of the kidneys. Fluids from blood in the glomerulus are collected in the bowman s capsule.
The function of the kidney involves removing waste and harmful products from the blood while conserving useful substances and water. Bowman s capsule is part of the filtration system in the nephrons of the kidneys. In the renal corpuscle fluid filters out of the blood in the glomerulus through the inner wall of the capsule and into the nephron tubule.
The outermost part of bowman s capsule the parietal layer is a simple squamous epithelium.
The function of the kidney involves removing waste and harmful products from the blood while conserving useful substances and water. Blood flows into and away from the glomerulus through tiny arteries called arterioles which reach and leave the glomerulus through the open end of the capsule. Bowman s capsule surrounds the glomerulus to form a lumen and captures and directs this filtrate to the pct. In order to achieve this different parts of the kidney act together to filter out and then reabsorb different factors from the blood.
