Question
Chapter 29, Problem 29.53AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The two functions of kidney in-order to maintain homeostasis other than purification of blood has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Kidneys have the major function of maintaining a constant internal environment in the body and it respond to changes in health, diet and physical activity.
The functional units of the kidney are nephrons and blood enters a nephron at glomerulus and the main function of kidney is filtration.
