bowmans capsule

• • glomerulus →  Bowman’s capsule→   proximal convoluted tubule →  Loop of Henle  distal convoluted tubule→ •  collecting duct
• • The Bowman’s capsule is a spherical, hollow cup-like structure that contains a network of capillaries called the glomerulus. 
• Filtration

  • passive transport (assisted by blood pressure) of solutes (urea, glucose, amino acids, ions) via diffusion and water via osmosis from the capillaries of the glomerulus into the Bowman’s capsule
  • blood cells and large proteins cannot pass through the glomerulus and remain in the blood
