the renal glomeruli
Ascites - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔accumulation of serous fluid in the peritoneal cavity

Reflux - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔backflow caused by relaxation or incompetence of lower
esophagus
Renal abscess - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔localized infection within the medulla or cortex of

Resonance - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔sound obtained on percussing a part that can vibrate
freely
Tympany - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔low-pitched, resonant, drumlike note obtained by
percussing the surface of a large, air-containing space
