Study Notes

Renal Malpighian Body/Bowman's Capsule

The renal Malpighian body, also known as Bowman's capsule, is located in the cortex of the kidney.
It consists of two layers: an inner visceral layer and an outer parietal layer.
The inner visceral layer closely surrounds the glomerulus, a network of capillaries.
The outer parietal layer is continuous with the proximal convoluted tubules.
Together, the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule form the renal corpuscle, a key structure for urine formation.
