UPSC 2003: With reference to the work of human kidney, consider the following statements: 1. After the waste is removed in the kidney, the cleaner blood is sent back through renal artery. 2. From Bowman’s capsule, the filtered liquid passes through tiny tubes where much of the glucose is reabsorbed and sent back to the blood in the renal vein. Which of these statements is/are correct?

Clean, de-oxygenated blood leaves the kidney through the renal vein, not the renal artery, so statement 1 is incorrect. Statement 2 is correct: filtrate from Bowman’s capsule enters the nephron tubules where glucose is largely re-absorbed; the re-absorbed glucose returns to circulation via capillaries that drain into the renal vein. Hence only statement 2 is correct. ([examrobot.com](https://examrobot.com/content/reference-work-human-kidney-consider-following-statements-1-after-waste-removed-kidney?utm_source=openai))
