Explanation

Lithotripsy uses sound wave to breakup large kidney stones into smaller pieces.

Lithotripsy is a procedure involving the physical destruction of hardened masses

like kidney stones, bezoars or gallstones, which may be done non invasively.

The term is derived from the Greek words meaning "breaking stones".

Explanation

Explanation

Calcium oxalate accounts for ~70% of kidney stones, forming crystals when urine is concentrated.

It results from high oxalate intake (e.g., spinach, nuts) or metabolic imbalances.

Explanation

Lithotripsy is a non-invasive method that uses shock waves to break medium-sized kidney stones.

The stone fragments then pass out naturally through urine.

Explanation

The kidney, ureter, and bladder are key organs of the excretory system, responsible for removing waste from the body.

They help maintain water balance, filter blood, and produce urine.

Explanation

Kidney stones commonly form due to excessive calcium salts in the urine, especially calcium oxalate.

High levels of calcium can crystallize and form stones, leading to kidney issues.

Explanation

The rare site of infection in the urinary tract is the Ureter. 

While UTIs most commonly affect the bladder and urethra (lower urinary tract), the ureters (tubes carrying urine from kidneys to bladder) can also be infected, though it's less common.

The kidneys are the least common site of infection in the urinary tract, and are considered a serious complication. 

Explanation

The deep perineal pouch in males contains the bulbourethral glands, membranous urethra, and internal pudendal artery.

These structures are all located within this anatomical space.

Explanation

 The last structure that urine passes through before exiting the body is the urethra.
