Destruction of dead blood corpuscles

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The correct answer is $D$. Kidneys are primary excretory organs responsible for the filtration of blood,excretion of nitrogenous wastes,maintenance of water and electrolyte balance (osmoregulation),and regulation of blood volume and blood pressure. The destruction of dead blood corpuscles (specifically red blood cells) is primarily carried out by the spleen,which is known as the 'graveyard of RBCs',and the liver. Therefore,the destruction of dead blood corpuscles is not a function of the kidneys.
