Answer to Question 1

D
Explanation: Reabsorption is when water, nutrients, and electrolytes are returned to the bloodstream. Filtration removes substances from the bloodstream. Secretion is when ammonia, uric acid, and other waste substances are added directly to the renal tubule. Excretion is not a stage of urine production.

Answer to Question 2

A
Explanation: Splen/o means spleen and -otomy means to cut into, so splenotomy means to cut into the spleen. -ectomy means surgical removal, so splenectomy means surgical removal of the spleen. -plasty means surgical repair, so splenoplasty means surgical repair of the spleen. -pexy means surgical fixation, so splenopexy means surgical fixation of the spleen.
