In humans, blood is filtered in

In humans, blood is filtered in [B] Bowman’s capsule. Bowman’s capsule is a key component of the renal corpuscle, which is part of the nephron, the functional unit of the kidney. Blood enters the glomerulus, a network of capillaries, where filtration occurs under pressure. This filtered fluid, known as filtrate, enters Bowman’s capsule. Bowman’s capsule surrounds the glomerulus and collects the filtrate, which then moves through the renal tubules, where reabsorption and secretion processes occur to regulate the composition of urine.

The filtrate eventually exits the nephron and enters the collecting duct system, where further adjustments may be made before the urine is transported to the ureter and subsequently expelled from the body through the urinary bladder. Bowman’s capsule plays a crucial role in the initial filtration step of urine formation, allowing waste products and excess substances to be removed from the blood.
