Introduction:
Kidneys are primarily involved in the process of excretion. The renal cells remove the waste products of the blood through filtration. The kidneys are also responsible for the maintenance of the homeostasis between the body constituents.

Answer to Problem 1DYKB
Correct answer:
The correct answer is option (d) production of plasma proteins.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (d) plasma proteins are produced by the liver (reticuloendothelial cells). Hence, this is not the function of the kidneys.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (a) the process of gluconeogenesis is controlled by insulin and glucagon hormones. This process takes place in the liver and kidneys. Hence, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (b) the protein called erythropoietin is responsible for red blood cell production. This protein is generated in the renal cells in response to low R.B.C count. Hence, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (c) kidneys also regulate blood pressure by releasing a hormone called renin. This is released in response to low blood pressure. Hence, this is an incorrect answer.
