Solution

Fluids from blood in the glomerulus are collected in the Bowman's capsule (i.e., glomerular filtrate) and further processed along the nephron to form urine. This process is known as ultrafiltration. The main function of Bowman's capsule and glomerulus is carrying out the process of ultrafiltration.
