Question

Glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule constitute

(A) Blood vessels

(B) Malpighian body

(C) Green gland

(D) Malpighian tubule

Answer 1

Hint: The kidney is the main excretory organ that removes the metabolic liquid waste from the body. Humans are the ureotelic organisms that excrete the urea from the body. The kidney is formed by the cells called nephrons. These are the basic units of the kidney.

Complete answer:

The nephron is the functional unit of kidney, the structure that mainly consists of two parts as renal tubules and the renal corpuscle. The renal corpuscle is the cup-like double walled apparatus called Bowman’s capsule. This part is also called by the name Malpighian body. It consists of wire like a bunch of capillaries called glomerulus. 

The filtration of the blood takes place in this part. It absorbs all the waste and the urea and the excess water in the blood. This is called urine. After this, the liquid moves to the uriniferous tubule. In this part again the reabsorption takes place. After all the filtration the urine is separated from the blood and moves to the urinary bladder. It is the balloon-like pert which stores the urine. After that the urine is released through the urethra.

Hence the correct answer is option (B).

Note: The glomerulus receives the blood from the arteriole of the renal artery. In the glomerulus, the blood filtration takes place at high pressure. After the purification of the blood, it is moved to the heart by the efferent arteriole. After that, the filtrate passes to the Bowman’s capsule.
