Question

The given figure represents the Malpighian body. Identify the labelled parts A to D and select the correct option.

• A. Efferent arteriole Afferent arteriole Bowman's capsule Proximal convoluted tubule
• B. Afferent arteriole Efferent arteriole Renal corpuscle Proximal convoluted tubule
• C. Affferent arteriole Efferent arteriole Bowman's capsule Proximal convoluted tubule
• D. Afferent arteriole Efferent arteriole Bowman's capsule Distal convoluted tubule

Answer 1

The correct option is C Affferent arteriole Efferent arteriole Bowman's capsule Proximal convoluted tubule

A kidney receives the blood by a renal artery that arises from the dorsal aorta.

A. Afferent arteriole: In the kidney, the renal artery divides and subdivides to send an afferent arteriole into each Bowman's capsule. The afferent arteriole forms a globular bunch of about 50 parallel capillaries called the glomerulus.

B. Efferent arteriole: The glomerular capillaries rejoin to form an efferent arteriole by which a reduced volume of blood leaves the glomerulus.

C. Bowman's capsule: It is a large, double-walled cup. It lies in the renal cortex and forms the beginning of the nephron. It contains a glomerulus in it.

D. Proximal convoluted tubule: It starts from the neck of Bowman's capsule and is greatly twisted. It lies in the renal cortex.

So, the correct answer is 'Afferent arteriole, Efferent arteriole,Bowman's capsule, Proximal convoluted tubule'.
