Back
Homeostasis
- Regulation of volume and composition of ECF (relates to BP, hydration status, Na, K, and Ca levels)
- Can do this by: holding back water with urine production, or removing excess water with urine
- Hormone production
- Renin, control of BP long-term
- Erythropoietin, stimulates erythrocyte (RBC) production
