A glomerulus is enclosed in the sac. Fluids from blood in the glomerulus are collected in the Bowman's capsule (i.e., glomerular filtrate) and further processed along the nephron to form urine. This process is known as ultrafiltration.

The malpighian corpuscle is a part of the kidney tubules or nephrons. The Bowman's capsule and the glomerulus together make up the malpighian corpuscle.
The afferent arteriole from the renal artery is much wider. This arteriole enters the Bowman's capsule and forms a tubular knot like structure, called as Glomerulus. The afferent arteriole supplies oxygenated blood to the parts of the nephrons and also the blood in it contains a high concentration of urea.
The glomerulus then forms another NARROW blood vessel called the efferent arteriole which leaves the Bowman's capsule.
Now, since the afferent arteriole is wider than the efferent arteriole, blood flows inside the glomerulus with a great pressure. Thus almost all the liquid part of the blood including urea , Na and Cl ions, glucose, filters out into the cavity of Bowman's Capsule. This process is called ultrafiltration and the filtrate is called ultrafiltrate or glomerular filtrate.
This is the first step of urine formation. Then selective reabsorption takes place in the PCT, Henle's loop and DCT. The urine is ready to be excreted
