    Bowman’s capsule it can also be called glomerular capsule. Bowman’s capsule it is a cup-like sack which is found at the beginning of tubular component of a nephron in the kidney of a mammalian which performs the first step of filtration of changing blood into the urine. A glomerulus is the enclosed in the sac.

    Bowman’s capsule is where fluids from blood in the glomerulus are collected and further processed to nephron to form urine through a process ultrafiltration. Bowman’s capsule named after Sir William Bowman. Bowman’s capsule has some layers inside.

    The outer one is a parietal layer which is a single layer of simple squamous epithelium and doesn’t function infiltration. The other layer is a visceral barrier. It lies immediately above the glomerular basement membrane which is made of podocytes and beneath it, we have glomerular capillaries.

    Filtration barrier is the function of fluid from the blood into Bowman's capsule. The barrier allows passage of small molecules, ions, and water from the bloodstream into Bowman’s space and it also prevents passage of negatively charged protein, for example, albumin.
