The Glomerulus capsule and the Bowman's capsule both describe the same thing. Either name can be used interchangeably. Both describe the capsule that envelopes the gomerulus and filtrates the incoming blood.
The kidney.vasa recta
The pressure gradient created by blood pressure forces plasma from the glomerular capillaries into Bowman's capsule. This process is known as glomerular filtration and is the first step in urine formation in the kidneys.
The Bowman's capsule is the part of the nephron that filters substances from the glomerulus. It surrounds the glomerulus and is responsible for collecting the filtrate that is produced.
The renal corpuscle consists of the glomerulus, which is a network of capillaries, and the Bowman's capsule, which is a cup-shaped structure that surrounds the glomerulus. Together, these components are responsible for the initial filtration of blood in the kidney.
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.

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.

Bowman's Capsule
Blood cells do not normally pass from the glomerulus, which is a cluster of capillaries in the kidney, to Bowman's capsule, the structure surrounding the glomerulus. The capillaries in the glomerulus are lined with specialized cells that prevent the passage of blood cells into the urine-forming structures such as Bowman's capsule.
The glomerulus and bowmans capsule are part of the excretory system, and they are found in the nephron of a kidney. The function of the glomerulus and the bowman's capsule is to filter the substances in the blood. The glomerulus is a tangle of capillaries which have little slits in them. Water, salts, glucose and urea pass through the slits into the bowmans capsule, which leads to kidney tubules. Then, as the kidney tubules are surrounded by capillaries, the useful substances (all glucose, some salts, most water) are re-absorbed, and only urea and some salts carry on to be excreted.

Bowman's capsule and glomerulus (capillary tuft).
The parts of a nephron in order are the renal corpuscle (glomerulus and Bowman's capsule), proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle (descending and ascending limbs), distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct.
