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.
