Explanation:
Bowman’s capsule is a very important structure in the nephron of the kidney.
The Bowman's capsule acts as a site to receive products of the glomerular filtration. the process that occurs is known as ultrafiltration. the filtrates are
water
glucose
amino acids
urea
mineral salts and other small molecules.
The filtrate has the same composition as blood plasma, however, it does not contain red blood cells and plasma proteins as they are too big to diffuse through.

Bowman's capsule (or the Bowman capsule, capsula glomeruli, or glomerular capsule) is a cup-like sack at the beginning of the tubular component of a nephron in the mammalian kidney that performs the first step in the filtration of blood to form urine. A glomerulus is enclosed in the sac.
