One of the kidneys' functions is the regulation of the body's acid-base balance

Kidney controls the body’s acid-base equilibrium by secreting hydroxyl ions (OH-). It also balances by releasing hydrogen ions(H+) into the urine and re-absorbing bicarbonate ions(HCO3) from the urine. The female urethra implements two functions which are:

The kidney functions as the acid-base balance regulator by secreting the hydrogen ion and reabsorbing bicarbonate.

Further Explanation:

The kidney is the organ which involved in the function of excretion of various waste substance from the body by filtering out theses waste material from the blood. It possess the bean-shaped structure.

Nephron serves as the functional unit of kidney. It possess various tubules such as proximal convoluted tubule, distal convoluted tubule, Henle's loop and the collecting ducts. These tubules are involved in the filtration of blood.

Steps of filtration of blood:

1. Entrance of blood into the kidney.

2. Removal of waste.

3. Mineral, water and salt reabsorption and adjustment

4. The movement of filtered blood back to the body

5. Urine formation

Kidney can act as the acid-base balance regulator by excreting hydrogen ion into the urine and reabsorbing the bicarbonate from the same. These absorption and secretion occurs in the tubules of the nephron. Therefore the main homeostasis control point for stable pH balance maintenance is the renal excretion.
