Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The kidneys are vital organs in the urinary system. They filter waste products, excess substances, and fluids from the blood to form urine. Each kidney contains about one million nephrons, which are the functional units responsible for this filtration process. Blood enters the kidneys through the renal arteries, is filtered in the nephrons, and then exits through the renal veins. The filtered waste is collected in the renal pelvis, passes through the ureters to the bladder, and is eventually excreted as urine. This process helps maintain the body's electrolyte balance, blood pressure, and overall homeostasis.

The liver? Nah, that's where the party's at. But when it comes to filtering blood, the kidney's the real MVP.

Hmm, the stomach? That's a new one. Maybe they want us to think outside the box, but I'm pretty sure the kidney is the correct answer here.

Yeah, the stomach doesn't have anything to do with that process. It's definitely the kidney.
