The glomerular capsule, also known as Bowman's capsule, is a cup-shaped structure in the nephron of the kidney that encases the glomerulus, a network of tiny blood vessels. It plays a crucial role in the filtration of blood, collecting the filtrate that passes through the glomerulus and beginning the process of urine formation. The capsule consists of two layers: the visceral layer, which contains specialized cells called podocytes, and the parietal layer, which helps to support the structure. Together, these layers facilitate the filtration of water, ions, and small molecules while retaining larger proteins and blood cells in the bloodstream.
