which of the following is not a function of the kidneys?

a) regulation of extracellular fluid osmolarity

b) regulation of blood hydrogen ion concentration

c) regulation of blood glucose concentratoin

Answer: c) regulation of blood glucose concentratoin

The kidneys carry out immensely important functions to keep in check homeostasis inside the body, even though they do not have to do with the direct regulation of blood sugar. The endocrine system, namely, the pancreas serves the role of controlling the blood sugar level regulation. The pancreas will make the hormones insulin and glucagon, which will go on and work together to regulate the levels of glucose and bloodstream. Insulin pumps the transport of glucose by cells and glucagon is responsible for the release of glycogen from the liver. Kidneys have contrary main purpose from that of they liver. They regulate the balance of water, electrolytes, and the other solutes inside the extracellular fluid and also maintain the proper acid-base balance by excreting or retaining hydrogen and bicarbonate ions in the blood (regulation of extracellular fluid osmolarity).
