Question

question 33 (2 points) which of the following describes your kidneys most accurately? approximately 20% of our total urine output passes through the kidneys every minute kidneys create kidney stones to protect against external forces kidneys possess a large/complicated network of nervous, circulatory, and endocrine connections each is composed of one million nephrons we normally are born with a total of three kidneys

Explanation:

The kidneys are bean - shaped organs with important functions in the body. Each kidney is made up of about one million nephrons, which are the functional units of the kidney responsible for filtering blood, removing waste products, and regulating fluid balance. Approximately 20 - 25% of the cardiac output passes through the kidneys per minute, not 20% of urine output. Kidney stones are abnormal mineral and salt deposits, not a protective mechanism. While the kidneys have connections with the nervous, circulatory, and endocrine systems, the description of a large and complicated network in that option is too general. Humans are born with two kidneys.

Answer:

each is composed of one million nephrons
