Bowmans capsule

 Nephron composed of -

1. Renal corpuscle

2. Renal tubule

1. Renal corpuscle or Malpighian corpuscle or Bowman's capsule

Part of nephron where fluid is filtered, it is made up of glomerulus and glomerular capsule or Bowman's capsule.

2. Renal tubule

Part into which filtered fluid passes.

Renal tubule composed of -

1. Proximal convoluted tubule

2. Loop if Henle

3. Distal convoluted tubules

Continuing from glomerular capsule, remainder of the nephron is about 3cm long.

1.  Glomerular (Bowman's capsule)

Glomerular capsule is portion of nephron that encloses the glomerulus.

Glomerular capsule is always located in cortex of kidney.

Space between visceral and parietal layer is called Bowman's space.

Blood flows through glomerular capillaries, water and most kind of solutes filter from blood plasma into capsular space.

Larger plasma protein and formed element in blood normally don't pass through.

Alteration of blood take place in renal corpuscle cross three layer- 

1. Endothelium of glomerulus

2. Basement membrane of glomerulus (middle layer)

3. Visceral layer of glomerular capsule and podocytes (3rd layer).

2. Renal tubules

Part of nephron that leads away from glomerulus.

Renal tubules has 3 main section-

1. PCT

2. Medullary loop

3. DCT

4. Collecting duct
