It is technique of breaking stones inside kidneys, ureters and urinary bladder:
Correct answer: C. Lithotripsy
- A. Lithography
- B. Linography
- C. Lithotripsy
- D. All options are correct
Explanation
Lithotripsy is the correct term for the medical procedure of breaking stones inside the urinary tract. Lithotripsy uses shock waves or laser to break up the stones into smaller pieces, making them easier to pass through the urinary system and out of the body.

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.
