Functions of kidney 2. The kidney excretes 100 to 1200 milliosmoles of solutes per day to rid the body of a variety of excess salts and other water soluble chemical wastes most notably creatinine urea and uric acid. Fig 1a shows the location of the kidney in the human body the kidney maintains homeostasis by regulating water balance waste removal and blood composition and pressure.
This chapter shows how the mammalian kidney is able to regulate the excretion of water independently from that of solutes.
The kidney excretes 100 to 1200 milliosmoles of solutes per day to rid the body of a variety of excess salts and other water soluble chemical wastes most notably creatinine urea and uric acid. Understand osmoregulation negative feedback water balance and the kidneys. Explain the concept of water balance and the importance of osmolality in its regulation. The kidneys dispose of waste by products of metabolism and hence prevent the build up of toxic products in the body and to regulate the chemical components of the body s fluids by responding to any imbalances of body fluids.
