2 systems control pH in the body. What are they?
The two systems that control pH in the body are the respiratory system and the renal system. The respiratory system helps regulate pH by controlling the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the blood through breathing. The renal system, or kidneys, regulate pH by excreting or reabsorbing hydrogen ions (H+) and bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) in the urine.
Chemical substances secreted by cells into the extracellular fluids that regulate the metabolic function of other cells in the body are called?
hormones
What biological mechanism senses a drop in the osmolarity of the blood when you are deyhydrated?
Among other things, the Kidneys regulate blood fluid levels and electrolyte balance. If one is dehydrated, the kidneys reabsorb more sodium via the "thousands" of nephrons that make up the body of the kidney. As a physiological rule, fluids follow a concentration gradient, so, in this case, water follows sodium and the body will retain more water.
