Malpighian body consists of:
Correct answer: A. Glomerulus and Bowman's capsule
- A. Glomerulus and Bowman's capsule
- B. Bowman's capsule and ciliated tubules
- C. Arterioles and collecting duct
- D. Ciliated tubules, lined with glandular cells
Explanation
The Malpighian body is an essential part of the nephron in the kidney, responsible for the initial filtration of blood. It is composed of the glomerulus, a tangled network of capillaries, and Bowman's capsule, which encases the glomerulus and collects the filtrate. Option A is correct as it accurately describes these components. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they include structures that are not part of the Malpighian body, such as ciliated tubules and the collecting duct, which are involved in later stages of urine formation.

About Homeostasis
Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.
