Given below is a highly simplified diagram of the human kidney cut open longitudinally. Answer the question that follow:
Write two differences in composition of the blood flowing through the blood vessels, 'A' and 'B'.

उत्तर
The blood vessel 'B' is renal artery and the blood vessel 'A' is renal vein.
So the blood vessel 'B' contains oxygenated blood with high concentration of urea and glucose whereas the blood vessel 'A' contains deoxygenated blood with low concentration of urea and glucose as compared to renal artery.
