Answer 1

1)they remove wastes that form during cellular metabolism, as well as toxic and non toxic substances 2)maintain appropriate concentration of water and ions 3)regulate volume of blood and interstitial fluids by controlling ion excretion 4)appropriate balance of hydrogen ions and hydroxyl ions in the blood 5)maintains the pH of the body fluids for chemical reactions.

Answer 5

Homeostasis
Acid-Base Balance

The kidneys regulate the pH, mineral ion concentration, and water composition of the blood.

By exchanging hydronium ions and hydroxyl ions, the blood plasma is maintained by the kidney at pH 7.4. Urine, on the other hand, becomes either acidic at pH 5 or alkaline at pH 8.

The pH is maintained through four main protein transporters: NHE3 (a sodium-hydrogen exchanger), V-type H-ATPase (an isoform of the hydrogen ATPase), NBC1 (a sodium-bicarbonate cotransporter) and AE1 (an anion exchanger which exchanges chloride for bicarbonate). Due to the polar alignment of cells in the renal epithelia NHE3 and the H-ATPase are exposed to the lumen (which is essentially outside the body), on the apical side of the cells, and are responsible for excreting hydrogen ions (or protons). Conversely, NBC1 and AE1 are on the basolateral side of the cells, and allow bicarbonate ions to move back into the extracellular fluid and thus are returned to the blood plasma.

I remember 4 from nursing school

Kidneys perform a number of homeostatic functions:

Maintain volume of extracellular fluid
Maintain ionic balance in extracellular fluid
Maintain pH and osmotic concentration of the extracellular fluid.
Excrete toxic metabolic by-products such as urea, ammonia, and uric acid.

My Sister was having frequent lower abdomen pain. When the Doctor examined her he told her she had a kidney stone. I began to help her search the web for something to finally eliminate her anguish. I told her about this website
( https://tr.im/UDra3 )and she tried it. Within 2 hours her stones passed through her urine without much pain.
