    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.
