Question

Process of filtration of blood in the Bowman's capsule is called ________.

Answer 1

Bowman's capsule:

1. Bowman's capsule is a funnel-shaped structure that encloses the tuft of blood capillaries called the glomerulus.
2. The capillaries present in the glomerulus provide a site for the purification of blood.
3. Therefore, the blood gets filtered through the thin walls of the capillaries, and the waste products and other elements are passed out to reach the tubular part of the nephron.
4. This method of filtration depends on a membrane and only allows the passage of certain substances which is known as ultrafiltration.

Final answer:

The process of filtration of blood in the Bowman's capsule is called ultrafiltration.
