Glomerular filtration is part of the process in the formation of urine. After the process of glomerular filtration is carried out, most of the fluid goes into the glomerular capsule and then into the renal corpuscle. Some of the fluid is reabsorbed by the body.
a filtrate fluid that oozes from the glomerulus and is collected by the Bowman's capsule.
The high pressure vessel that forces fluid and solutes into the glomerular capsule is the glomerulus. It is a network of capillaries located within the Bowman's capsule in the kidney where blood is filtered to form the initial filtrate that will eventually become urine.
The filtrate from Bowman's capsule first travels to the proximal tubule of the nephron.

An increase in blood pressure or an increase in blood volume can lead to an increase in the amount of fluid entering Bowman's capsule (glomerular filtration rate) due to increased glomerular blood flow. This can be seen in conditions such as hypertension or congestive heart failure.
The portion of the nephron receiving filtrate from the glomerular capsule is the proximal convoluted tubule. It is responsible for reabsorbing substances such as glucose, ions, and water from the filtrate into the blood. This process helps regulate the body's balance of electrolytes and fluid volume.
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.
Filtration at the glomerulus is directly related to the hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capillaries, the oncotic pressure in the Bowman's capsule, and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). These factors influence the movement of fluid and solutes across the glomerular filtration barrier.
It is called a Cyst
The high pressure in the glomerulus due to the afferent arteriole being larger than the efferent arteriole favors filtrate formation by pushing fluid and solutes out of the blood into the glomerular capsule. Additionally, the high permeability of the glomerular capillaries allows for easy passage of water and small solutes, promoting the formation of filtrate.
Glomerular Filtration - a passive process in which fluid passes from the blood into the glomerular capsule (part of the renal tubule) Once in the capsule the fluid is called filtrate and is essentially blood plasma without proteins
