bowman's capsule









































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. 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 bowman's capsule is named after sir william bowman, who identified it in 1842.

bowman's capsule
more precisely, gfr is the fluid flow rate between the glomerular capillaries and the bowman's capsule:









































where:









































bullet::::- formula_3 is the gfr.









































bullet::::- formula_4 is called the "filtration constant" and is defined as the product of the hydraulic conductivity and the surface area of the glomerular capillaries.









































bullet::::- formula_5 is the hydrostatic pressure within the glomerular capillaries.









































bullet::::- formula_6 is the hydrostatic pressure within the bowman's capsule.









































bullet::::- formula_7 is the colloid osmotic pressure within the glomerular capillaries.









































bullet::::- and formula_8 is the colloid osmotic pressure within the bowman's capsule.
