(a) Difference between Ureter and Urethra (function):

Property	Ureter	Urethra
Function	Ureter brings urine from kidneys to urinary bladder.	The urine is intermittently emptied from the urinary bladder to the outside of the body through the urethra.

(b) Difference between Diabetes mellitus and Diabetes insipidus (hormones involved):

Property	Diabetes mellitus	Diabetes insipidus
Hormones involved	Deficiency of insulin	Deficiency of vasopressin or antidiuretic hormone (ADH)

Property	Glycosuria	Albuminuria
Abnormal constituents	Presence of glucose in urine	Presence of Albumin protein in urine.

(d) Difference between Diuresis and Uremia (problem):

Property	Diuresis	Uremia
Problem	Diuresis results in increased production of urine due to less secretion of ADH.	Uremia is the accumulation of high quantities of urea in blood due to inability of the kidneys to filter out wastes.

(e) Difference between Malpighian capsule and Loop of Henle (location):

Properties	Malpighian capsule	Loop of Henle
Location	Beginning of nephron	Between first and second convoluted tubule.
