In which among the following organ, “Bowman's Capsule” is found? Correct Answer Kidney

The correct answer is Kidney.

Key Points

• The Bowman's capsule is found in the outer part of the kidney.
  • It is also called the glomerular capsule, renal corpuscular capsule, or capsular glomeruli.
  • It is a double-walled cuplike structure that makes up part of the nephron, the filtration structure in the mammalian kidney.
  • Bowman’s capsule encompasses a cluster of microscopic blood vessels, capillaries, called the glomerulus, where wastes are filtered from the blood.
  • Each nephron of the kidney contains blood vessels and a special tubule.
  • As the filtrate flows through the tubule of the nephron, it becomes increasingly concentrated in the urine.
  • Waste products are transferred from the blood into the filtrate while nutrients are absorbed from the filtrate into the blood.
