Question 1 of 22
← Back
A patient asks how healthy kidneys can filter such a large volume of plasma every day yet produce only a small volume of urine. Which explanation is correct?
A
The glomerulus filters a large volume of plasma, and the tubules reabsorb most of that water and most useful solutes back into the blood
B
The glomerulus filters only a few milliliters of plasma, and the bladder manufactures the rest of the urine
C
The kidneys store most of the filtered fluid in the renal pelvis and release it slowly over several days
D
Most of the filtered fluid is broken down by the liver before it ever reaches the tubules
