Common mistakes in Other excretory routes, urination and kidney disorders
Recorded against questions in this topic that are not shown above, so none of these points at an answer you can see on this page.
- Choosing renal calculi because both conditions involve the kidneys.
- Assuming dialysis fluid should contain no solutes at all.
- Thinks the fluid is matched to plasma to 'protect' the membrane or to control temperature.
- Puts sphincter relaxation before bladder contraction, or treats micturition as entirely involuntary in adults.
