Question

Identify Brownman's capsule and write its shape as well function.​

Answer 1

Answer:

• The Bowman's capsule is found in the outer part of the kidney, the cortex. It is a sealed, expanded sac at the end of the tubule, the rest of which elongates into a twisted and looped tubule in which urine is formed.
• It 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.
• The parietal layer of Bowman's capsule consists of squamous epithelial cells resting on a basement membrane.
• The cells are of polygonal shape and contain prominent bundles of actin filaments running in all directions. ... At the urinary pole, the flat parietal cells transform into proximal tubule cells.

Answer 2

BOWMAN'S CAPSULE -

• A part of the nephron is a cup-like structure and surrounding the glomerulus.
• Bowman's capsule encloses a space called Bowman's space and forms the first part of the convoluted tubules.
• The renal corpuscle is collectively formed by Bowman's capsule, Bowman's space, and capillary network inside the glomerulus.
• The capsule plays a vital and initial role in renal filtration of the blood along with the capillary network.
• The vessels of the capsules help in the filtration of the solutes, water, proteins, electrolytes, sugars, urea into the glomerulus for reabsorption.
• It provides urinary space to filter the filtrate to transfer it to the nephron through convoluted tubules.
