Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Aldosterone: Aldosterone is secreted by the adrenal glands, and it regulates sodium and water balance, not in response to low oxygen.

B. Erythropoietin: The kidneys secrete erythropoietin in response to hypoxia to stimulate the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow.

C. Converting enzyme: Refers to angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which is found in the lungs and converts angiotensin I to II—not secreted by kidneys in response to hypoxia.

D. Renin: Renin is secreted by the kidneys in response to low blood pressure or sodium, not oxygen deficiency.

A. Reabsorption B. Filtration C. Storage D. Increase RBC production E. Secretion

Correct Answer is ["A","B","E"]

Explanation

A. Reabsorption: The nephron reabsorbs water, glucose, and electrolytes from the filtrate back into the blood.

B. Filtration: The glomerulus filters blood, initiating urine formation by removing waste, water, and solutes.

C. Storage: Urine storage occurs in the bladder, not the nephron.

D. Increase RBC production: While the kidneys release erythropoietin, which stimulates RBC production, this is not a nephron-specific function.

E. Secretion: The nephron actively secretes waste products like hydrogen ions and drugs into the tubule for excretion.
