It is technique of breaking kidney stones inside kidneys, ureters, and urinary bladder
Correct answer: C. Lithotripsy
- A. Lithotrophy
- B. Lithography
- C. Lithotripsy
- D. All options are correct
Explanation
The correct answer is Lithotripsy. Lithotripsy is a medical procedure that uses shock waves to break kidney stones into smaller pieces so that they can pass through the urinary system more easily. Lithotrophy is unrelated to this procedure as it refers to a metabolic process in microorganisms. Lithography is a printing method and has no connection to medical treatments for kidney stones. The option stating that all options are correct is false because only lithotripsy is relevant to the question.

About Homeostasis
Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.
