  • 2. 

    Brings blood into each kidney.

    • Artery

    • Vein

    • Ureter

    • Nephron

    Correct Answer
    A. Artery
    Explanation
    The artery is responsible for bringing blood into each kidney. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart and towards the organs and tissues of the body. In the case of the kidneys, the renal artery supplies oxygenated blood to the kidneys, allowing them to filter waste products and regulate the body's fluid balance. Therefore, the artery is the correct answer in this context.

    The kidneys react by following more water to stay in the nephrons and leave the body as?

    • Fluids

    • Urine

    • Hormones

    • Sweat

    Correct Answer
    A. Urine
    Explanation
    The kidneys react by retaining more water in the nephrons and eliminating it from the body as urine. Urine is formed in the kidneys as a result of the filtration of waste products, excess water, and other substances from the blood. The kidneys regulate the body's water balance by adjusting the amount of water reabsorbed back into the bloodstream or excreted as urine. This process helps maintain the body's fluid balance and remove waste products from the body.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    As the water content of the blood drops, the salivary glands produce less?

    • Evaporation

    • Dioretics

    • Antidioretic

    • Saliva

    Correct Answer
    A. Saliva
    Explanation
    When the water content of the blood drops, it signals the body to conserve water. One way the body does this is by reducing the production of saliva. Saliva is mostly composed of water, so when the body is dehydrated, it decreases saliva production to prevent further water loss. This helps to maintain the body's overall water balance and prevent further dehydration.

    When salts and wastes collect inside the kidney it forms?

    • Kidney Disease

    • Urine

    • Bacteria

    • Kidney Stones

    Correct Answer
    A. Kidney Stones
    Explanation
    When salts and wastes accumulate inside the kidney, they can crystallize and form solid masses called kidney stones. These stones can vary in size and can cause severe pain and discomfort when they pass through the urinary tract. Kidney stones are typically made up of calcium, oxalate, uric acid, or a combination of these substances. They can be caused by various factors such as dehydration, certain medical conditions, or dietary factors. Treatment for kidney stones may involve medication, lifestyle changes, or in some cases, surgical intervention.

  • 6. 

    The ? are a pair of organs that constantly clean the blood.

    Correct Answer
    kidneys
    Explanation
    The kidneys are a pair of organs that constantly clean the blood. They filter waste products, excess water, and toxins from the bloodstream, producing urine as a result. The kidneys also help regulate blood pressure, balance electrolytes, and produce hormones that are important for the production of red blood cells. Overall, the kidneys play a vital role in maintaining the body's internal balance and eliminating waste products from the blood.

    It can get into the bladder and urethra and cause painful infections.

    • Bacteria

    • Kidney Stones

    • Kidney Disease

    • Cells

    Correct Answer
    A. Bacteria
    Explanation
    Bacteria can cause painful infections in the bladder and urethra. They can enter the urinary tract and multiply, leading to conditions such as urinary tract infections (UTIs). Bacteria can be introduced into the urinary tract through various means, such as improper hygiene, sexual activity, or the use of catheters. Once inside, they can cause inflammation, irritation, and discomfort. Prompt treatment with antibiotics is often necessary to clear the infection and alleviate symptoms.

    The ? contains the organs that remove waste products from your blood.

    Correct Answer
    urinary system
    Explanation
    The urinary system is responsible for removing waste products from the blood. It includes organs such as the kidneys, which filter waste and excess water from the blood to produce urine, and the bladder, which stores urine until it is excreted from the body. The urinary system plays a vital role in maintaining the body's fluid balance and eliminating toxins and waste materials.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Sometimes, salts and other ? collect inside the kidneys and form kidney stones.

    Correct Answer
    waste
    Explanation
    Kidney stones are formed when salts and other waste materials accumulate and crystallize in the kidneys. These waste materials can include substances like calcium, oxalate, and uric acid. When the concentration of these substances in the urine is high, they can clump together and form solid masses known as kidney stones. These stones can vary in size and can cause severe pain and discomfort when they pass through the urinary tract. Therefore, the presence of waste materials in the kidneys is a major contributing factor in the formation of kidney stones.
