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
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.
