Correct answer: B. 160 grams
- A. 140 grams
- B. 160 grams
- C. 130 grams
- D. 150 grams
Explanation
The average weight of each human kidney is about 160 grams. This value can vary slightly based on factors such as age, gender, and overall health, but 160 grams is a widely accepted average. The other options, although close, do not accurately reflect this average weight. The options of 140 grams and 150 grams are slightly below the average, while 130 grams is significantly lower and unlikely.

Questions cover nephron structure, ultrafiltration, the loop of Henle, collecting ducts, urine formation and the roles of ADH and aldosterone, while distinguishing excretion from egestion.
