Question

Statement A: An artificial kidney is an organ which is placed inside the human body in case of kidney failure.
Statement B: It functions on the same principle as the normal kidney except no resbsorption is involved.

• A. Both the statements are incorrect
• B. Only statement A is correct
• C. Both the statements are correct
• D. Only statement B is correct

Answer 1

The correct option is D Only statement B is correct

An artificial kidney (haemodialysis) is a device to remove nitrogenous waste products from the blood through dialysis. It is placed outside the body in case of kidney failure.
This is similar to the function of the kidney, but it is different since there is no reabsorption involved.
