The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is not correct with respect to the human kidney, we will analyze each statement provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Structure of the Kidney**: - The human kidney has two main regions: the outer region known as the **cortex** and the inner region known as the **medulla**. - **Statement 1**: "The peripheral region is called cortex and the central is medulla." - This statement is **correct**. 2. **Location of Nephrons**: - The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney, and the **Malpighian capsules** (or Bowman's capsules) are indeed located in the cortex region. - **Statement 2**: "The Malpighian capsules are present in the cortex region." - This statement is also **correct**. 3. **Blood Flow in the Kidney**: - Blood enters the glomerulus through the **afferent arterioles** and leaves through the **efferent arterioles**. - **Statement 3**: "Blood leaves the glomerulus through the efferent venules." - This statement is **incorrect** because blood leaves the glomerulus through the **efferent arterioles**, not venules. 4. **Concave Part of the Kidney**: - The concave part of the kidney is referred to as the **hilum** (or hilus), where structures such as the ureter and renal vein exit. - **Statement 4**: "The concave part of the kidney is known as the hilus." - This statement is **correct**. ### Conclusion: Based on the analysis, the statement that is not correct with respect to the human kidney is **Statement 3**: "Blood leaves the glomerulus through the efferent venules." ### Final Answer: **Option 3** is the incorrect statement. ---
