Prior to chemical tests for glycosuria, clinicians checked for sweetness of the urine as a sign of
pyelitis
diabetes mellitus
renal calculus
acute glomerulonephritis
The Correct Answer is B
A. Pyelitis is an infection of the renal pelvis and does not cause sweet-smelling urine.
B. Diabetes mellitus often causes glycosuria (glucose in urine), which can make urine taste sweet.

Correct Answer is D
Explanation
A. Oral cavity is involved in chemical digestion through the action of salivary enzymes like amylase.
B. Stomach is involved in chemical digestion with gastric acids and pepsin.
C. Small intestine is a major site for chemical digestion and nutrient absorption.
D. Large intestine is primarily involved in the absorption of water and electrolytes and the formation of feces. It is less involved in chemical digestion compared to the other organs listed.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A. Posterior pituitary releases hormones such as ADH (antidiuretic hormone), but it does not have aldosterone receptors.
B. Proximal convoluted tubule is involved in reabsorption, but it does not have aldosterone receptors.
C. Distal convoluted tubule: Aldosterone receptors are found in the cells of the distal convoluted tubule. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion in this part of the nephron, which helps regulate blood pressure and electrolyte balance.
D. Adrenal medulla produces catecholamines (e.g., adrenaline) but does not contain aldosterone receptors.
