The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Structure**: The Bowman's capsule is a structure found in the kidney. It is part of the nephron, which is the functional unit of the kidney. 2. **Understand the Function**: The primary function of the Bowman's capsule is to facilitate the filtration of blood. It collects the filtrate from the blood that passes through the glomerulus, which is a network of capillaries. 3. **Analyze the Options**: - **Option 1**: "Uriniferous tubule and the site of reabsorption of water and glucose." - This is incorrect because the Bowman's capsule is not primarily involved in reabsorption. - **Option 2**: "Uriniferous tubule and the site of filtration of various blood constituents." - This is correct as Bowman's capsule is indeed part of the uriniferous tubule and is responsible for the filtration process. - **Option 3**: "Liver and is the site of secretion of bile juice." - This is incorrect as Bowman's capsule is not part of the liver. - **Option 4**: "Lung and the site of gaseous exchange." - This is also incorrect as Bowman's capsule is not part of the lungs. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option 2**: "Uriniferous tubule and the site of filtration of various blood constituents."
