Detailed explanation-1: -Fluids comprising excess water, salt and metabolic waste products are extracted from the blood as it enters the Bowman’s capsule in the nephrons. This fluid in the Bowman’s capsule is called glomerular filtrate. It is similar to blood plasma except that it has almost no protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final Answer : The liquid which collects in the cavity of Bowman’s capsule is blood plasma minus blood proteins .

Detailed explanation-3: -What is glomerular filtration? Glomerular filtration is the first step in making urine. It is the process that your kidneys use to filter excess fluid and waste products out of the blood into the urine collecting tubules of the kidney, so they may be eliminated from your body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bowman’s capsule is known by other names, including the glomerular capsule, the Malpighian capsule and the renal corpuscular capsule. Bowman’s space also has other names, including glomerular capsule space, filtration space and urinary space.

Detailed explanation-5: -The filtrate entering Bowman’s space has a very similar composition to that of the blood in the glomerular capillaries except for the protein, and cell content as these are the components largely prevented from entering Bowman’s space when glomerular filtration is functioning properly.
