Question

____maintains balance of Na+ and K+ and stimulates metabolism.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Thus, the kidney is the major long-term regulator of Na+ and K+ homeostasis. The renal handling of both these ions involves aldosterone, hinting to common regulatory pathways.

Answer 2

The kidney maintained the balance of Na+ and K+ and stimulates metabolism.

• The kidney is the organ that involves infiltration absorption and excretion.
• that involves infiltration absorption and excretion. It regulates the fluid ionic balance.
• The hormone aldosterone is released by a part of the kidney known as the adrenal cortex and is involved in the sodium-potassium balance.
• Aldosterone is a mineralocorticoid.
• It increases the sodium-potassium salt and water reabsorption from the kidney hence increasing it in the bloodstream.
