The given figure shows the nephridial system of earthworm and answer the question.
Select the option which shows the correct identification and the function of the structure marked as X.
Lateral heart. It is a blood pumping organ.
Calciferous glands. They neutralize the humic acid present in humus.
Nephridia. It regulates the volume and composition of the body fluids.
Blood glands. They produce blood cells and haemoglobin which is dissolved in blood plasma.
Correct Answer :
D. Blood glands. They produce blood cells and haemoglobin which is dissolved in blood plasma.
Blood glands are present on the 4th, 5th and 6th segments. They produce blood cells and haemoglobin which is dissolved in blood plasma. Blood cells are phagocytic in nature. Lateral hearts are present in 7th and 9th segments and connects dorsal blood vessel with ventral blood vessel. The Nephridia is an organ which occurs in pairs and performs a function similar to the vertebrate kidney. Nephridia remove metabolic wastes from an animal's body.
