where is the site of the glomerulus and bowman's capsule located
Bowman's capsule Bowman's capsule (or the Bowman capsule, capsula glomeruli, or glomerular capsule) is a cup-like sack 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. A 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.[citation needed]The Bowman's capsule is named after Sir William Bowman, who identified it in 1842.
