Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the pH of extracellular fluids is acidic, the kidneys will respond by excreting H+ into the urine to help decrease the acidity. This helps regulate the acid-base balance in the body. The other options are incorrect because the kidneys will not retain H+ when there is too much in the extracellular fluids and they will not excrete more HCO₃- into the urine because that would further decrease the pH. Additionally, the kidneys do have a role in H+ regulation.
