Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
By regulating the water-salt balance, what else does the kidney maintain?
A
blood pH
B
blood volume
C
blood pressure
D
blood volume & pressure
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The kidneys regulate circulatory volume by controlling sodium and water balance, thus maintaining extracellular fluid volume (ECFV) homeostasis. Simply put, an increase in sodium and water consumption leads to an increase in ECFV, which in turn increases blood volume.

Detailed explanation-2: -Our kidneys maintain a healthy level of salt and water in our bodies. Before generating concentrated urine, they reabsorb important chemicals and water from the filtrate. The neurological and endocrine systems work together to help the kidney maintain a healthy salt and water balance in the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Organ Systems Involved The renal system, and more specifically the kidney, is primarily responsible for regulating blood volume. The kidney’s primary function is to modify the solutes and water content of the blood through filtration, reabsorption, and secretion.
