Question

state the function of bowman capsule and glomerulus

Answer 1

The glomerulus and its surrounding Bowman's capsule constitute a renal corpuscle, the basic filtration unit of the kidney. The rate at which blood is filtered through all of the glomeruli, and thus the measure of the overall renal function, is the glomerularfiltration rate (GFR).

Answer 2

Glomerlus capsule is a tuft of cappillaries present inside the Bowman's capsule. Bowman's capsule is a sac like organ present at the tabular end of the nephron, encapsulate glomerulus in it.

The function of glomerulus is to filter blood and produce glomerulus filtrate which is collcted by Bowman's capsule and pass it to the proximal tubule and then to the distal tube of the nephron. In this area, the filtrate is processed to form urine.
