Question
Chapter 11.1, Problem 2CYP
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The processes that the kidney performs to maintain the homeostasis.
Introduction:
The exchange of water and electrolytes between the body and environment occurs across the specialized organ system called the urinary system. It includes kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. It helps the body to get rid of liquid waste (urea) and also control the blood pressure.
