Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The GFR and Pcr are inversely related.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The GFR provides the best estimate of functioning renal tissue. The best estimate of renal func-tion is not associated with the measurement of circulating ADH levels, urine output, or specific gravity.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
