Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The kidneys are responsible for maintaining the body's acid-base balance by removing excess hydrogen ions (acid) through urine. They also help regulate the body's pH by selectively reabsorbing or excreting electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and bicarbonate. The brain, heart, and spleen do not directly play a role in acid-base balance.
