a. Control plasma volume
b. Control blood pressure
c. Control red blood cell production
d. All of these

a) more fluid than usual to end up in the extracellular space
b) The kidneys will absorb more water and salt from the primary urine
c) the smooth muscles around the blood vessels will relax
High blood pressure often is accompanied by kidney damage. In somepeople the kidney damage is subsequent to the high blood pressure, but in others the kidney damage is what caused the high blood pressure. How would a low-salt diet enable you to determine whether the high blood pressure or the kidney damage came first?
