Liver
Explanation
The kidney is the organ which is responsible for the filtration of the wastes from the blood. The wastes are excreted through the urine. If the kidneys are damaged due to infection, injury of any other disorder, then the wastes in the blood are not get filtered. The wastes start accumulating in the parts of the body and cause swelling of the legs and the lower parts of the body. Due to the swelling and the improper filtration of the blood, the person suffers from fatigue and weakness.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
When we say a nephron is the structural and functional unit of the kidneys, we mean that
(P) The kidney is made up of many nephrons.
(Q) The filtration of blood that occurs in the kidneys is because of what the nephrons do.
(R) Urea formation occurs in the nephrons.

P, Q and R
Explanation
The kidney is composed of many units of nephrons which are known as the functional unit of kidneys. The nephrons are responsible for the filtration of blood and formation of urine in order to remove the wastes from the blood. The urea formation takes place in the liver. The proteins are digested and converted to ammonia and then urea is formed in the liver.
The statements P and Q are correct and S is incorrect.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.

During which process blood is filtered out in Bowman's capsule?
Report Question
0%
Reabsorption
0%
Secretion
0%
Ultrafiltration
0%
None of them
Explanation
The waste material along with the blood is brought to the kidneys by the renal arteries. As the blood is under pressure in the arteries, it is filtered out from the blood capillaries into the Bowman's capsule. This process is known as ultrafiltration. The ultrafiltrate contains the water, salts, and the wastes
So, the correct answer is '
Ultrafiltration'
During which process is blood filtered in Bowman's capsule?
Report Question
0%
Reabsorption
0%
Secretion
0%
Ultrafiltration
0%
None of the given three
Explanation
During ultrafiltration, the blood flows under high pressure through the glomerulus in the Bowmans capsule.
Due to the narrow lumen of the capillaries and high pressure, the blood is filtered out in
Bowman's
capsule.
During ultra-filtration, the blood flows under high pressure through the glomerulus in
Bowman's
capsule. Due to the narrow lumen of the capillaries and high pressure, the
blood is filtered out in Bowman's capsule.

Vacuum develops in proximal convoluted tubule and sucks the blood
Explanation
The arteriole that carries blood away from the glomerulus is the efferent arteriole whereas the afferent arteriole carries blood to the glomerulus. The afferent and efferent arteriole resistance exerts an opposite action. The efferent arteriole being smaller in diameter than the afferent arteriole produces a resistance to blood flow that creates a high pressure in the glomerulus leading to filtration. Thus the correct answer is option C.

Explanation
Body fluids are the medium of transport in the body. In an average 70 kg adult human, the total body water is about 60% of the body weight or about 42 litres. Body fluid is of two types: intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid. The extracellular fluid contains a large amount of sodium ions. It is the most abundant mineral present in body fluid. It helps in controlling the amount of fluid. 60 percent of the total sodium present in body is found only in the body fluids.
So, the correct answer is 'Sodium'.

Explanation
In the given image, W represents Glomerulus, X represents a descending loop of Henle, Y represents the ascending loop of Henle and Z represents distal convoluted tubule.
Glomerulus does primary filtration function. It filters waste products and fluids from the blood.
Ascending and descending loop of Henle's primary function is absorption water and sodium chloride to maintain the concentration gradient.
Distal convoluted tubule is involved in the reabsorption of sodium and chloride along with water to maintain homeostasis.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
If loop of Henle is absent from mammalian nephron which of the following is expected?
Report Question
0%
Urine will be more concentrated
0%
Urine will be more diluted
0%
No urine formation
0%
No change in quality and quantity
Explanation
The loop of Henle is a U-shaped, long tubule consisting of a descending and an ascending limb. The descending limb is highly permeable to water and the ascending limb is impermeable to water but is permeable to ions. The main function of the loop of Henle is to concentrate the urine, regulating the amount of water to be given out. Hence, the urine will be more dilute if the loop of Henle is absent from mammalian nephron.
So, the correct answer is option B.

Explanation
Stages of kidney development:
Pronephros is the earliest nephric stage in humans and constitutes the mature kidney in most primitive vertebrates.
Mesonephros develops by the formation of mesonephric tubules from the intermediate mesoderm, it is the principal excretory organ during early embryonic life (4—8 weeks). It gradually degenerates, although parts of its duct system become associated with the male reproductive organs.
Metanephros arises caudal to the mesonephros at five weeks of development; it is the permanent and functional kidney in higher vertebrates. It is derived from the intermediate mesoderm. The ureteric bud arises as a diverticulum from the Wollfian duct, close to the entrance to the cloaca and grows towards and inside the metanephric mesenchyme.
So, the correct answer is 'Metanephros'.

Kidneys
Explanation
In Palaeomon, excretion is carried out by green glands. They have a pair of kidneys called the antennary or green glands and a median sac called renal sac. It helps in excretion and osmoregulation.
The antennary arteries carries the blood to the green glands. By ultrafiltration water and dissolved substances pass into the end-sacs. The filtrate passes into the labyrinth. The useful products are returned to blood in labyrinth by the process of selective absorption. The urine produced is passed into the bladders. The excretory fluid also comes here from the renal sac. The urine is passed out through the ureters and renal apertures.
So, the correct answer is 'Green glands'.

Nephrons are the cells of kidney which are composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscle is also known Malpighian body. It consists of cup like double walled structure known as Bowman’s capsule and the bunch of capillaries present in the Bowman’s capsule is known as glomerulus. The blood enters the glomerulus under high pressure from the afferent arteriole and leaves through efferent arteriole. Due to the high pressure in the glomerulus the blood gets filtered.The rate at which blood is filtered through all of the glomeruli, and thus the measure of the overall renal function, is the glomerular filtration rate. So the correct answer is “glomerulus”.

Explanation
pH of the urine normally ranges from 5.5 to 7. The average pH is about 6.2. The pH of the fresh urine is approximately 6.0. The pH of the urine is due to the acidic contents like uric acid and H$$^+$$ions released during the process of tubular secretion in the kidney. The increase in acidity in the urine can be due to kidney stones etc.
So, the correct answer is '6.0'.

Explanation
The blood in the glomerulus is filtered through minutes pores called filtration slits present in the wall of Bowman's capsule. This phenomenon is called glomerular filtration and the filtrate is called as glomerular filtrate. The relatively larger molecules like blood proteins cannot pass through the minute pores hence ultrafiltration. The filtrate is collected by the cavity of Bowman's capsule and passed to the tubule. Hence liquid which collects in the cavity of Bowman's capsule is plasma minus blood proteins.
