The malpighian body of the mammalian kidney is made up of the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule. The glomerulus is a tiny network of blood vessels that filters waste products and excess water from the blood, while Bowman's capsule is a cup-shaped structure that surrounds the glomerulus and collects the filtered fluid, which is then further processed by the nephron to produce urine. Together, the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule form the first part of the nephron, the functional unit of the kidney, which is responsible for filtering and processing the blood to produce urine. The cortex and medulla are regions of the kidney that contain many nephrons, while the pelvis and pyramid are larger structures that help transport urine out of the kidney.
