CASE STUDY :
Q15. The figure shown below represents a common type of dialysis called as
Haemodialysis. It removes waste products from the blood. Such as excess salts, and
urea which are insufficiently removed by the kidney in patients with kidney failure.
During the procedure, the patients blood is cleaned by filtration through a series of
semi-permeable membranes before being returned to the blood of the patient. On the
basis of this, answer the following questions:
(a) The haemodialyser has semi-permeable lining of tubes which help:
(iv)To pump purified blood back into the body of the patient.
(i) Urea and excess salts (ii) Blood cells (iii) Lymph (iv) Proteins
(d) Which part of the nephron in human kidney, serves the function of reabsorption of
certain substances?
4. The opening and closing of the stomatal pore depends upon (c) water in guard cells
5.Which one of the endocrine gland is known as 'master gland'? (c) Pituitary
6. Which of the following acts as both endocrine and exocrine glands? (d) Pancreas
7.Assertion: Reflex Arc works faster than thinking process of brain.
Reason: Reflex Arc works in case of those animals who donot have thinking process.
Ans. (c) Assertion is true but the Reason is false.
8. Assertion: Impulse travels from dendrite to cell body and then along the axon to its
end.
Reason: Information acquired at the end of the dendrite tip of a nerve cell sets of an
electric impulse.
Ans. (a) Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct and the Reason is the
correct explanation of the Assertion.
(c) The 'used dialysing' solution is rich in:(1) Urea and excess salts
(d) Which part of the nephron in human kidney, serves the function of reabsorption of
certain substances?
(iii) Tubules
