• B. Malpighian corpuscles are present in the cortical region
• C. Blood enters glomerulus through efferent arterioles
• D. The concave part of kidney is called hilus

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Blood enters glomerulus through efferent arterioles

• The peripheral region of the kidney is the cortical region and called cortex but the central is called the medulla.
• Malphagian corpuscle, convoluted tubules of a nephron are present in the cortical region.
• Blood in the glomerulus enters through the afferent arteriole and exits from the efferent arteriole.
• The cocave part of the kidney is called the hilus, from this the ureter and the renal vein exits from the kidney and renal artery enters the kidney.
• So, the (C) statement is not correct.
