The kidney's primary function is filtering blood to remove waste products and excess substances, excreting them as urine. Each kidney contains about one million nephrons that perform this filtration. While kidneys also help regulate blood pressure and produce hormones, waste removal is their MAIN function. The other options describe functions of other systems (circulatory, nervous, digestive).

Blood group O (especially O negative) is called the universal donor because O red blood cells lack A and B antigens on their surface. This means they can be transfused to almost any patient without triggering an immune reaction. AB is the universal recipient (can receive from all types). A and B can only donate to compatible types.

The lacrimal glands (also spelled lachrymal) are the tear-producing glands located above each eye. They secrete the watery layer of tears that lubricates and protects the eyes. The pituitary is the 'master gland', thyroid regulates metabolism, and pancreas produces digestive enzymes and hormones like insulin.

The pituitary gland is called the 'master gland' because it produces hormones that control other endocrine glands like thyroid, adrenal glands, and reproductive glands. It's located at the base of the brain and regulates growth, metabolism, reproduction, and stress response. The pancreas regulates blood sugar, thyroid controls metabolism, and spleen is part of immune system.

Newborn babies have approximately 300 bones at birth, which is about 94 more than adults. As children grow, many of these bones fuse together through a process called ossification. For example, the skull bones fuse to form the cranium, and sacral vertebrae fuse to form the sacrum. Adults end up with 206 bones. 206 is the adult count, not newborn.

In the Cub Scout section of the Scouting movement, the leader is traditionally called Akela, a name taken from Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book where Akela is the leader of the wolf pack.

The low ranking reflected concerns about enforcement, registration processes, and legal framework for intellectual property rights in India.
