Urinary System 1: Kidneys Flashcards

1
Q

The kidney has several important homeostatic, hormonal, and metabolic
functions that include:

A
  • maintenance of water and electrolyte
  • Regulation of acid-base balance
  • Excretion of metabolic waste products
  • Production of renin
  • Conversion of vitamin D into active form
