The basic structural and functional unit of the kidney is
- A.
Mitochondria
- B.
Neuron
- C.
Nephron
- D.
Ribosome
Correct Answer
C. NepHronExplanation
The correct answer is Nephron. The nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. It is responsible for filtering waste materials from the blood and producing urine. Each kidney contains millions of nephrons, which consist of a glomerulus, tubules, and collecting ducts. The glomerulus filters blood, while the tubules reabsorb important substances and excrete waste products. The nephron plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's fluid balance and regulating blood pressure.Rate this question:

- A.
Voluntary
- B.
Instinctive
- C.
Involuntary
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. InvoluntaryExplanation
Voiding refers to the process of emptying the bladder. It is largely an involuntary reflex, meaning that it occurs automatically without conscious control. The body has a complex system of nerves and muscles that work together to initiate and control the voiding reflex. This reflex is triggered when the bladder becomes full, sending signals to the brain to initiate the contraction of the bladder muscles and relax the muscles of the urinary sphincter, allowing urine to be expelled from the body. Therefore, the correct answer is "involuntary".Rate this question:

The presence of sugar in the urine is known as
Correct Answer
glycosuriaExplanation
Glycosuria refers to the presence of sugar in the urine. This condition occurs when the blood sugar levels are higher than normal, causing the kidneys to excrete excess glucose into the urine. It can be a sign of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, where the body is unable to effectively regulate blood sugar levels. Glycosuria can also occur due to other factors such as kidney damage, hormonal disorders, or certain medications. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels and proper management of diabetes are important to prevent complications associated with glycosuria.Rate this question:

It involves redirecting the flow of urine from the bladder to a new opening in the body, such as a stoma or an external pouch. Urinary diversion can be necessary in cases of bladder cancer, birth defects, or other conditions that affect the normal urinary system.Rate this question:

Weakening of which muscles is a common cause of urinary incontinence.
Correct Answer
pelvic floor
pelvic
pelvic floor musclesExplanation
The weakening of pelvic floor muscles is a common cause of urinary incontinence. The pelvic floor muscles play a crucial role in supporting the bladder and controlling urine flow. When these muscles become weak, they are unable to properly support the bladder and control the release of urine, leading to urinary incontinence. Therefore, strengthening the pelvic floor muscles through exercises and treatments can help alleviate urinary incontinence symptoms.Rate this question:

Mixed incontience
- B.
Stress incontinence
- C.
Over-flow incontience
- D.
Urge incontinence
- E.
None of the above
Correct Answer
D. Urge incontinenceExplanation
Urge incontinence refers to the involuntary loss of urine that occurs immediately after feeling a strong and sudden urge to urinate. This condition is often caused by an overactive bladder, where the bladder muscles contract too frequently or at inappropriate times, leading to the urgent need to void. The individual may not be able to reach the toilet in time, resulting in the involuntary loss of urine. This is different from stress incontinence, which is the leakage of urine during physical activities or exertion, and overflow incontinence, which is the inability to completely empty the bladder, leading to constant dribbling of urine. Mixed incontinence refers to a combination of both stress and urge incontinence.Rate this question:
