Solution
Bowmans capsule is a double layered cup- shaped structure. Its visceral layer surrounds the glomerulus. During urine formation, water and many dissolved substances from the blood are filtered into the lumen of Bowmans capsule- The glomerular filtrate contains a large amount of water and other dissolved substances such as urea, uric acid, amino acids, glucose, sodium, potassium etc. The glomerular filtrate and blood plasma are similar except that glomerular filtrate does not have proteins and fats.
