The Bowman's Capsule is part of a Nephron, which would be found in the Kidney. It's function is to collect the filtrate from the Glomerulus, passing it on to the Proximal Convoluted Tubules (PCT's); subsequently, to the rest of the Nephron.

What is the function in SIMPLE terms of bowman's capsule?
In SIMPLE way, Bowman's capsule collects things. A Bowman's capsule is the cup shaped end of the renal tubule. It is also called the glomerular capsule, which encloses the glomerulus, and together the two make up the renal corpuscle.
The renal corpuscle includes which parts of the nephron?
Bowman's capsule and glomerulus (capillary tuft).
What is the bowman's capsule function?
It carries water and minerals which are filtered out from the blood through glomerulus.
Who discovered the bowman's capsule?
Bowman
What C-shaped structure in the nephron surrounds the glomerulus?
Bowman's Capsule
What is the partially permeable membrane of kidney - the glomerulus or the Bowman's capsule?
bowman's capsule
What is the function of the juxtamedullary complex?
The juxtamedullary complex is also called the juxtaglomerular capsule, and it functions in the kidneys to do filtration. Another name for it is the Bowman's capsule.
Is bowman's capsule smallest functional unit of kidney?
No, Bowman's capsule is not the kidney's smallest functional unit. That title belongs to the nephron, part of which is called Bowman's capsule.
What is the hollow cup-shaped structure that houses the glomerulus which filters blood?
The glomerulus is surrounded in the kidneys by a structure called 'the Bowman's capsule'. This is where the various substances from the blood pass into - a process called filtration.
What is the glomerulus encased in?
Glomerular capsule or Bowman capsule
What is The hydrostatic pressure in Bowman's capsule?
The hydrostatic pressure in Bowman's capsule is around 15 mm Hg.
What is Bowman's capsule?
The Bowman's capsule is also called the juxtaglomerular capsule and it is part of a nephron unit in the kidneys that helps the filtration process to produce urine.
