Which of the following is NOT a function of the kidneys?
A Control of the production of red blood cells
B Removal of waste products from the body
C Regulation of sodium and potassium in the body
D Production and regulation of calcium levels in the body
D Production and regulation of calcium levels in the body
The kidneys
remove waste products from the body
remove drugs from the body
balance the body’s fluids
release hormones that regulate blood pressure
produce an active form of vitamin D that promotes strong, healthy bones
control the production of red blood cells
Parathyroid hormone causes calcium reabsorption in the kidney, but the kidney does not produce calcium.
Describe the physiology of the nephron by placing the following in the correct order:
Blood flow from afferent arteriole
glomerular filtration
tubular reabsorption
tubular secretion
reabsorption of water
