Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • a. Ultrafiltration iv. Malpighian corpuscle
    b. Concentration of urine i. Henle’s loop
    c. Transport of urine ii. Ureter
    d. Storage of urine iii. Urinary bladder

a. Ultrafiltration - This process occurs in the Malpighian corpuscle (also known as the renal corpuscle), which includes the glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule. Therefore, the correct match is iv.

b. Concentration of urine - This process primarily occurs in the Henle’s loop, which plays a crucial role in the counter-current mechanism to concentrate urine. Therefore, the correct match is i.

c. Transport of urine - The ureter is responsible for transporting urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder. Therefore, the correct match is ii.

d. Storage of urine - The urinary bladder is the organ that stores urine until it is excreted. Therefore, the correct match is iii.
