<P> Bowman 's capsule ( or the Bowman capsule , capsula glomeruli , or glomerular capsule ) is a cup - like sack at the beginning of the tubular component of a nephron in the mammalian kidney that performs the first step in the filtration of blood to form urine . A glomerulus is enclosed in the sac . 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 Bowman 's capsule is named after Sir William Bowman , who identified it in 1842 . </P>
