In the male, urethra serves to:
1. transport urine from kidney to bladder
2. transport sperms to ejaculatory ducts
3. store urine and sperms
4. discharge semen and urine
Consider the two statements:
I: | The process of filtration at Malpighian body is regarded as ultrafiltration. |
II: | Blood is filtered so finely that all constituents of plasma pass into the lumen of Bowman’s capsule. |
1. | Both I and II are correct and II explains I |
2. | Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I |
3. | I is correct but II is incorrect |
4. | I is incorrect but II is correct |
