Explanation:

Analyze Question 47

The kidneys regulate blood volume, chemical composition, pH, filter approximately 180–200 liters of fluid daily, excrete metabolic wastes, and remove toxins. Chyme is the semi-fluid mass of partly digested food expelled by the stomach into the duodenum; its production is a function of the digestive system, not the kidneys.

Analyze Question 48

Atherosclerosis is the most common acquired abnormality of blood vessels characterized by the buildup of fatty plaques, leading to hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis) and significantly increasing the risk of stroke and coronary heart disease.

Analyze Question 49

The biliary system (or biliary tract) consists of the organs and ducts that create, store, transport, and release bile into the duodenum, which anatomically includes the liver, gallbladder, and the associated bile ducts.
