Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The kidney has multiple endocrine roles; it secretes various hormones and humoral factors: the hormones of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), erythropoietin (EPO), and 1, 25 dihydroxy vitamin D3. It also produces enzymes, such as kallikreins, which produce hormones in other, distant sites.
