Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bowman’s capsule is a part of the nephron which is a part of your kidney. The nephron is the filtering unit of your kidney. There are about 1 million nephrons in each kidney. Every nephron has a glomerulus, which is a group of tiny blood vessels and the starting point for filtering waste products out of your blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -Renal corpuscle; Proximal tubule; Loop of Henle; Distal tubule; Collecting duct.

Detailed explanation-3: -The renal tubule begins with a double walled cup-like structure called Bowman’s capsule, which encloses the glomerulus. Glomerulus along with Bowman’s capsule is called the malpighian body or renal corpuscle. Thus, Bowman’s corpuscle is part of the kidney not the part of heart.
