प्रश्न
Compare the functioning of alveoli in the lungs and nephrons in the kidneys with respect to their structure and functioning.
उत्तर
| Alveoli | Nephrons |
| Structure | Structure |
| Alveoli are tiny balloon-like structures present inside the lungs. | Nephrons are tubular structures present inside the kidneys. |
| The walls of the alveoli are one cell thick and they contain an extensive network of blood capillaries. | Nephrons are made of glomerulus, a Bowman’s capsule, and a long renal tube. |
| Function | Function |
| The exchange of O2 and CO2 takes place between the blood of the capillaries that surround the alveoli and the gases present in the alveoli. | The blood enters the kidneys through the renal artery. The blood is entered here and the nitrogenous waste in the form of urine is collected by collecting duct. |
| Alveoli are the site of gaseous exchange. | Nephrons are the basic filtration unit. |

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 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 product Q. The clean blood goes into circulation through a vein T. The waste substance Q, other 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.
