regulate the volume of urine produced. They also
regulate the concentration of ions in body fluids and
blood, so the proper balance of sodium, chloride, po-
tassium, calcium, and phosphate ions is maintained.
■■ pH regulation: The kidneys control the proper -balance
of hydrogen ions in the blood, thus helping to regulate
the proper pH levels in the body along with buffers in
the blood and the respiratory system.
