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 organs P through blood. The numerous tiny filters R present inside the organs P clean the dirty blood by removing the waste product Q. If due to some reason, the organs P of a person stop functioning completely, the person's blood can be cleaned periodically by a process S as to save his life. What areP, Q, R and S?

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the terms P, Q, R, and S based on the clues provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Organ P**: - The question states that there is a pair of bean-shaped organs located towards the back, just above the waist. - In the human body, the organs that fit this description are the **kidneys**. - Therefore, **P = Kidneys**. 2. **Identify Waste Product Q**: - The waste product is formed by the decomposition of unused proteins in the liver and is brought to organ P through the blood. - The main nitrogenous waste produced from protein metabolism is **urea**. - Hence, **Q = Urea**. 3. **Identify Tiny Filters R**: - The question mentions numerous tiny filters present inside organ P (the kidneys) that clean the dirty blood by removing the waste product Q (urea). - These tiny filters in the kidneys are known as **nephrons**. - Thus, **R = Nephrons**. 4. **Identify Process S**: - The question states that if organ P (the kidneys) stops functioning completely, the person's blood can be cleaned periodically by a process S to save their life. - The medical procedure used to clean the blood when kidneys fail is called **dialysis**. - Therefore, **S = Dialysis**. ### Final Answer: - **P = Kidneys** - **Q = Urea** - **R = Nephrons** - **S = Dialysis**

There is a pari 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 unsued proteins in the liver is brough 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 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 ?
