VALUE BASED / PRACTICAL BASED QUESTIONS
MARKED QUESTIONS MAY HAVE FOR REVISION QUESTIONS.
This Section is not meant for classroom discussion. It is being given to promote self-study and self
testing amongst the Resonance students.
1. There is a pair of bean-shaped organs P in the human body towards the back, just above the
waist.A waste product Q formed by the decomposition of unused proteins in the liver is brought into
organ P through blood by an artery R.The numerous tiny filters S present in organ P clean the dirty
blood by removing the waste product Q. The clean blood goes into circulation through a vein T. The
waste substance Q, other waste salts, and excess water form a yellowish liquid U which goes from
organ P into a bag-like structure V through two tubes W.This liquid is then thrown out of the body
through a tube X.
(A) What is (i) organ P, and (ii) waste substance Q ?
(B) Name (i) artery R, and (ii) vein T.
(C) What are tiny filters S known as ?
