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.

∙ 14y agoThere are two primary hormones that regulate renal function, antidiurertic hormone (ADH) which helps retain water and concentrates the urine. The second is aldosterone which acts through retaining more sodium which helps draw more water out of the filtrate as well.

The activity of the kidneys is controlled by hormones and by the?
The activity of the kidneys is controlled by hormones which have been released by a gland in the brain and by the composition of the blood.The kidney, better yet, a kidney nephron has three main functions: ultrafiltration, in which contents of the blood are filtered according to their size (Bowman's Capsule); reabsorption, in which needed substances (water, glucose, amino acids, some salts; unneeded: urea, uric acid, some salts) diffuse (by active transport) into the venule end of a capillary bed (renal tubules and, partially, Henle's Loop as well as the collecting duct); osmoregulation, in which ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is released by the pituitary gland in the brain (renal tubules and, partially, Henle's Loop as well as the collecting duct).The kidney has more than one activity, so several things perform the activities.
What is a neurogenic heart?
