What is the function of Bowman's capsule and Glomerulus?

Step-by-step solution

The renal tubule begins with a double walled cup-like structure called Bowman's capsule which encloses the glomerulus. Glomerulus along with Bowman's capsule is called the Malpighian body or renal corpuscle. The first step in urine formation is the filtration of blood, which is carried out by the glomerulus and is called glomerular filtration. 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
