Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The kidneys are primarily responsible for regulating the pH of the blood through the excretion of hydrogen ions and the reabsorption of bicarbonate ions. They also regulate the plasma concentration of sodium and potassium ions through processes of reabsorption and secretion. The plasma concentration of iron ions and the plasma temperature are not directly regulated by the kidneys.
