  1. What is a sphygmomanometer?

 

  1. Why does lymph contain less proteins than the plasma?

 

Answer:

  1. Henle's loop.

  1. If one kidney fails, man can live on the other kidney.

 

  1. Pulmonary artery contains deoxygenated blood, i.e., it contains carbon dioxide while pulmonary vein contains oxygenated blood, i.e., it contains oxygen.

 

  1. One kidney is sufficient to filter out the excretory products and dialysis is carried out only in case of failure of both the kidneys.

 

  1. Bowman's capsule.

 

  1. Renal artery carries oxygenated blood along with nitrogenous waste material to the Bowman's capsule.

  1. Renal artery, afferent arterioles, glomerulus, efferent arterioles, secondary capillaries, renal vein.

 

  1. Sphygmomanometer is the instrument which measures blood pressure.

 

  1. Lymph contains much less proteins than plasma because the capillary wall is impermeable to plasma proteins.
