The kidneys help to regulate the PH of body fluids by controlling the?
The kidneys control pH by secreting or reabsorbing H+ ions.
How do the kidneys help maintaining homeostasis?
There are many functions of the kidneys that maintain homeostasis. In addition to filtering wastes, the kidneys use hormones to regulate blood pressure and altering the sodium and electrolyte balances to maintain proper fluid balances within the body. The kidneys help to maintain the internal balance in the body by excreting substances that change that balance. The kidneys also help to maintain water balance.
