Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The kidneys help your cardiovascular system by?
A
eliminating bicarbonate ions
B
correct blood pressure & volume
C
releasing hormones
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Healthy kidneys respond to a hormone called aldosterone which is produced in the adrenal glands, to help the body regulate blood pressure. Kidney damage and uncontrolled high blood pressure contribute to a negative spiral. As more arteries become blocked and stop functioning, the kidneys eventually fail.

Detailed explanation-2: -The kidney plays a central role in the regulation of arterial blood pressure. A large body of experimental and physiological evidence indicates that renal control of extracellular volume and renal perfusion pressure are closely involved in maintaining the arterial circulation and blood pressure.

Detailed explanation-3: -Blood pressure is regulated in the body by changes to the diameters of blood vessels in response to changes in the cardiac output and stroke volume. Factors such as stress, nutrition, drugs, exercise, or disease can invoke changes in the diameters of the blood vessels, altering blood pressure.
