| UBPROP_0000001 |
Anatomical structure found in the kidney consisting of an expanded end of a kidney tubule surrounding a glomerulus and is the major site of filtration.[AAO] |
| UBPROP_0000009 |
Fluids from blood in the glomerulus are collected in the Bowman's capsule and further processed along the nephron to form urine. This process is known as ultrafiltration[WP]. |
| UBPROP_0000011 |
One fold of the S-shaped body gives rise to Bowman's capsule[GUDMAP] |
