Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The functional unit of the kidney is the nephron. There are about 2.4 million nephrons in an adult. These structures filter fluid and make urine. The glomerulus is a tuft of blood vessels with a capillary-like endothelium that allows easy passage of fluid and waste products. The renal pelves are in a region of the kidney that drains urine into the ureters. The renal capsule is a protective layer, which is made up of the fiber layer, a perirenal or brown fat layer, and the renal parietal layer.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Androgens act to increase the retention of nitrogen, sodium, potassium, and phosphorous. They increase production of red blood cells and protein anabolism and decrease protein catabolism.
