Bowmans capsule is part of the functioanl unit of the kidney called the nephron. The kidney job in the body is to filter blood and remove wastes via the urine. At the very start of each nephron is a very smalle blood network called the glomerulus. The diameter pf the vessel leaving the glomerulus (the efferent vessel) is smaller than that coming to the glomerulus (the afferent vessel) and so a large pressure occurs. This helps push the wastes as well as some nutrients and a lot of water out of the glomerulus. To stop if all just floating of into the body a a structue surround the glomerulus and takes up all the thing the glomerulus lets out. This is the glomerulus and it passes what it gets on through the vessels of the nephron where much is reabsorbed and the rest is excreted as urine.
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.
It carries water and minerals which are filtered out from the blood through glomerulus.
Fluid is passed through the glomerulus at high pressures, leading to ultrafiltration.
Bowman's Capsule
Yes, filtered blood from the glomerulus passes to the Bowman's capsule also called the renal capsule.

Yes, filtered blood from the glomerulus passes to the Bowman's capsule also called the renal capsule.

Bowman's capsule is named after Sir William Bowman (1816-1892), a British surgeon and anatomist.
Glomular filtrate, blood plasma
Glomerulus (Renal Corpuscle)
Rattlesnake venom breaks down the walls of glomerulus. The glomerulus is part of the nephron which is located in tour kidneys. The glomerulus filters your blood and the un needed material gets sent to the bowmans capsule in the nephron. The the gunk from the bowmans capsule makes its way into the urine. So when a rattlesnake bites you the blood goes right into you bowmans capsule making its way into the urine.
