The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Bowman's Capsule**: Bowman's capsule is a part of the nephron in the kidney and surrounds the glomerulus, which is a network of capillaries. 2. **Role of the Glomerulus**: The glomerulus is responsible for filtering blood. The afferent arteriole brings blood into the glomerulus, where filtration occurs. 3. **Filtration Process**: During filtration, the liquid portion of the blood, known as plasma, is filtered into the Bowman's capsule. This process allows smaller molecules to pass through while larger components are retained. 4. **Components of Blood**: Blood consists of plasma and formed elements (like red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets). During the filtration process, the formed elements (RBCs, WBCs, and platelets) do not pass through the filtration barrier. 5. **Resulting Liquid**: The liquid that collects in the cavity of Bowman's capsule is essentially the plasma minus the proteins and formed elements. This liquid is known as "glomerular filtrate." 6. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the liquid that collects in the cavity of Bowman's capsule is called "glomerular filtrate," which is primarily composed of plasma without the blood cells and proteins. ---
