Answer:
Bowman's Capsule
⇒ The Bowman's Capsule is a thin walled cup, something like a hollow ball pressed deep on one side.
⇒ Its hollow internal space continues into the tubule.
⇒ The outer concavity of the Bowman's capsule lodges a knot-like mass of blood capillaries, called glomerulus.
⇒ The Glomerulus and the Bowman's Capsule together are called Malpighian or renal capsule.
Additional Information:
→ Proximal Convoluted Tubule ( PCT) is the starting convoluted tubule of the region.
→Both the Bowman's capsule and the proximal convoluted part lie in the cortex.
