The distal blind end of the malpighian tubules bathes freely in____________?
Correct answer: C. Haemocoel
- A. Digestive tract
- B. Intestines
- C. Haemocoel
- D. Coelom
Explanation
Malpighian tubules are blind-ended tubes whose closed ends lie in the haemocoel, bathing in haemolymph and absorbing nitrogenous wastes from it. The likely distractor is the intestine, because the tubules empty into the gut, but their blind ends are surrounded by haemolymph in the haemocoel.

About Kidney and Urinary System
The kidney and urinary system remove nitrogenous wastes, regulate water and ion balance, and help maintain blood pH through filtration, selective reabsorption and secretion. Questions cover nephron structure, ultrafiltration, the loop of Henle, collecting ducts, urine formation and the roles of ADH and aldosterone, while distinguishing excretion from egestion.
