Nephrons are structures that are part of the cortex and the medulla of the kidney. A nephron consists of an intricate epithelial tube that is closed at one end and open at the distal portion. A kidney is made up of numerous nephrons that converge in the collecting ducts, which in turn form the papillary ducts and eventually empty into the renal pelvis.

They have the function of cleaning the blood plasma of waste substances as it passes through the kidneys. Among these substances that must be eliminated are certain terminal products of metabolism, such as urea, creatinine, uric acid and urates, which are expelled through the urine. Nephrons eliminate waste from the body, regulate blood volume and pressure, control electrolyte and metabolite levels, and regulate blood ph.

The olfactory cells are
Lina20 [59]
The answer would be A

Because

The sense of smell is part of our chemical sensing system, or the chemosenses. Sensory cells in our nose, mouth, and throat have a role in helping us interpret smells, as well as taste flavors. Microscopic molecules released by the substances around us (foods, flowers, etc.) stimulate these sensory cells. Once the cells detect the molecules they send messages to our brains, where we identify the smell. Olfactory, or smell nerve cells, are stimulated by the odors around us--the fragrance of a gardenia or the smell of bread baking. These nerve cells are found in a small patch of tissue high inside the nose, and they connect directly to the brain. Our sense of smell is also influenced by something called the common chemical sense. This sense involves nerve endings in our eyes, nose, mouth, and throat, especially those on moist surfaces. Beyond smell and taste, these nerve endings help us sense the feelings stimulated by different substances, such as the eye-watering potency of an onion or the refreshing cool of peppermint.

Over time the cartilage in your body is replaced by solid bone and is usually complete by the time you stop growing.

True. Otherwise we would never stop growing although broken bones regain cartilage into solid bone when we break one but it doesn’t expand.
