Bowman example sentences

The renal tubule begins with a double walled cup-like structure called Bowman's capsule, which encloses the glomerulus.The glomerular capillary blood pressure causes filtration of blood through 3 layers, i.e., the endothelium of glomerular blood vessels, the epithelium of Bowman's capsule and a basement membrane between these two layers.The Bowman's capsule encloses the glomerulus to form Malpighian or renal corpuscle.Blood is filtered so finely through these membranes, that almost all the constituents of the plasma except the proteins pass onto the lumen of the Bowman's capsule.About 1200 ml of blood is filtered by the glomerulus per minute to form 125 ml of filtrate in the Bowman's capsule per minute (GFR).The renal tubule starts with a double walled Bowman's capsule and is further differentiated into a proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), Henle's loop (HL) and distal convoluted tubule (DCT).Glomerulus alongwith Bowman's capsule, is called the malpighian body or renal corpuscle (Figureure 1 4).The epithelial cells of Bowman's capsule called podocytes are arranged in an intricate manner so as to leave some minute spaces called filtration slits or slit pores.
