Answer: a. Its first capillary beds drain into arterioles.
Explanation:
The kidneys are the two filtering units in the bodies. Inside each kidney their is a filteration unit called as glomerulus. This includes a group of blood vessels called as capillaries. The blood enters the capillaries by afferent arterioles and leaves by the virtue of efferent arterioles.

Answer:
The correct answer is option C- somatosensory cortex located in the parietal lobe.
Explanation:
The somatosensory pathway is the ascending pathway of neurons that transmits the signals from the body to the brain. It begins with the first-order neuron in which the action potential is generated in the response to the stimulus. This first-order neuron transmits the signals to second-order neurons in the dorsal root ganglion.
The second-order neurons transmit the signals from the primary neurons to the third-order neurons in the thalamus which further transmits the signals to the "postcentral gyrus of the somatosensory cortex present in the parietal lobe."
Thus, option C is the correct answer.
Answer:
Is characteristic of Diabetes.
Explanation:
Diabetes is a disorder in which blood sugar increases due to the fact that there is mechanism by which sugar enters the cell is somehow affected.
There are different types of this disorder, the most common ones are the following,
1. Diabetes type 1, is an autoimmune disorder in which the cells that are in charge of producing insulin are destroyed, as a consequence there is not enough insulin (responsible for allowing the glucose channels to open and transport glucose into the cell). Therefore, sugar remains in blood circulation. When glucose levels are too high, it starts filtering through the kidneys and ends up in the urine.
2. Diabetes type 2, is triggered by different factors, there are genetic and environmental factors that trigger this disease. In this case, cells are 'resistant' to the insulin effect, so the body reacts by secreting more insulin. As a consequence, cells in charge of secreting insulin are overworked and at the same time, the body cells keep on increasing the resistance to insulin. There is a point in which this compensation fails to work, and blood sugar rises. When the levels become high, glucose starts filtering through the kidneys and ends up in the urine.
There are more types of diabetes, such as gestational diabetes or LADA. In this cases the cause of the disease varies, but the outcome is the same, increased blood glucose levels and presence of glucose in the urine.
