Which structures are the functional unit of the kidney?
-
Ureter
-
Nephron
-
Urethra
-
Glomerulus
Correct Answer
A. NephronExplanation
The functional unit of the kidney is called the nephron. Nephrons are responsible for filtering waste products and excess water from the blood, producing urine, and maintaining the body's water and electrolyte balance. They consist of a glomerulus, which filters the blood, and a tubule, which reabsorbs necessary substances and excretes waste products. The ureter is a tube that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder, while the urethra is a tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. However, neither of these structures is the functional unit of the kidney.Rate this question:

The cephalic vein is the easiest vein to palpate in obese patients because it is located on the outer side of the arm, close to the surface of the skin. This makes it more accessible and easier to feel or touch, even in patients with excess adipose tissue. The other veins mentioned, such as the median, cubital, and basilic veins, may be more difficult to locate or palpate in obese patients due to their deeper positioning or proximity to other structures.Rate this question:
