V. CASE STUDY QUESTION
1. The figure shown below represents a common type of dialysis known as haemodialysis. It
removes waste products from the blood such as excess salts and urea which are insufficiently
removed by the kidney in patients with kidney failure. During the procedure, the patient’s blood
is cleaned by filtration through a series of semi permeable membranes before being returned to
the blood of the patient. On the basis of the given information, answer the following questions:-
(a) Give one functional difference between kidney and artificial kidney.
(b) Name the duct by which urine is transferred from kidney to the urinary bladder.
(b) What is an artificial kidney ?
OR
(c) Name the process by which waste products from blood pass into the dialysing fluid.
