Bowman's space in dogs

A narrow chalice-shaped cavity between the glomerular and capsular epithelium of the glomerular capsule of the kidney[TFD]. Between the visceral and parietal layers, into which the filtrate enters after passing through the podocytes' filtration slits[WP]. luminal region between the glomerular capsule visceral and parietal layers, into which filtrate enters after passing through the filtration barrier from the glomerular capillaries[MP]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the Bowman's space is

A narrow chalice-shaped cavity between the glomerular and capsular epithelium of the glomerular capsule of the kidney[TFD]. Between the visceral and parietal layers, into which the filtrate enters after passing through the podocytes' filtration slits[WP]. luminal region between the glomerular capsule visceral and parietal layers, into which filtrate enters after passing through the filtration barrier from the glomerular capillaries[MP]. The atlas records it as a cavity at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the Bowman's space is

It sits in the abdomen and trunk, within the urinary system. Only the region is known. The position shown is somewhere plausible inside it and nothing more.

What the Bowman's space connects to

The atlas records 6 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of glomerular capsule.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the Bowman's space. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as Bowman's space, capsular space, glomerular capsule space, glomerular urinary space, inter-glomerular space and pronephric capsular space, and 4 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the Bowman's space?

It sits in the abdomen and trunk, within the urinary system. Only the region is known. The position shown is somewhere plausible inside it and nothing more.

What does the Bowman's space connect to?

Part of: glomerular capsule.

Is the Bowman's space the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
