Detailed explanation-1: -The renal system regulates blood pressure by altering the amount of water held in the blood (blood volume). The renal system regulates blood pH by excreting and reabsorbing hydronium ions and bicarbonate. The renal system does not play a direct role in regulating blood temperature.
Detailed explanation-2: -The correct option: Among the given option the one which is not a function of the kidney is B) storage of fat. The kidney is responsible for the secretion of excretory materials out of the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
