Question

1) Only 1% of the filtrate leaves the body as urine. True or False

2) Perineal structures in the female reproductive system include the [a] and the [b]

3) The ---------- is the main processor of drugs in the body.

answer all three questions please. just the right answers only. thanks

Answer 1

1.True-

In the Kidney 99% of the  filtrate , small molecules, and lipid-soluble substances are reabsorbed from different sites of renal tubule(PCT,Henles loop,DCT etc).

So that the amount of urine eliminated is only about 1% of the amount of fluid filtrated through the glomeruli into the renal tubules.Remaining 99% is reabsorbed.

2.a-Clitoris,B-Labia

Female reproductive structures are present in Pelivc cavity and Perineum-

Structures in the Pelvic cavity:Ovaries,Uterus,Uterine Tubes,Superior Part of V-agina

Structures in the perineum:Inferior Part of V-agina,Clitoris,Labia(Labia Majora&Labia Minora),Bartholins Glands

3.Liver

Most of the drugs pass through the liver .Liver acts as the primary site for drug metabolism.

In the liver, Liver enzymes convert

a)Either a prodrug to active metabolites

b)or active drugs to inactive forms.

This Drug Metabolism in liver is Done through specific group of cytochrome P-450 enzymes.
