1. Blood from the right side of the heart is carried to the lungs by the pulmonary artery
2. The term pleura refers to the double layered covering of the kidney.
3. Pancreas is both an exocrine and endocrine gland
4. Scurvy is caused by the deficiency of vitamin C

Correct answer: The term pleura refers to the double layered covering of the kidney.

Solution

Pleura is the double-layered membrane surrounding the lungs, not the kidney. The other statements are correct: the pulmonary artery carries blood from the right heart to the lungs, the pancreas has both exocrine and endocrine functions, and scurvy results from vitamin C deficiency.
