Question
Chapter 36.5, Problem 3CYL
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The process of the kidney in control of blood pH, blood pressure, and blood oxygen.
Introduction:
Kidney performs homeostasis to keep the concentration of salt and water maintained. Osmoregulation regulates the pH of blood, blood oxygen level as well as the blood pressure.

explain how kidneys help control blood pH, blood pressure, and blood oxygen content?
Explain how the kidneys help to regulate bloodvolume and blood pressure.
How are the processes of reabsorption and secretion related?
A) Materials move in opposite directions: reabsorption moves materials into the blood,
whereas secretion removes them from the blood.
B) They both involve movement of material from the tubular fluid into the blood.
C) Materials move in opposite directions: secretion moves materials into the blood,
whereas reabsorption removes them from the blood.
D) They both involve movement of material from the blood into the tubular fluid.
