The small intestine and kidneys both play crucial roles in maintaining the body's fluid and electrolyte balance. The small intestine is responsible for nutrient absorption and helps regulate water and electrolyte levels through its absorption processes. Similarly, the kidneys filter blood to remove waste products and excess substances, while also reabsorbing essential nutrients and maintaining homeostasis of fluids and electrolytes. Together, they contribute to overall metabolic efficiency and balance in the body.
