Question

lo 6.1. what is the primary function of the kidneys? regulating blood glucose levels. transporting oxygen to the bodys cells. filtering waste products and excess fluids from the blood. producing and secreting digestive enzymes. regulating body temperature.

Explanation:

The kidneys are a pair of bean - shaped organs. Their main role is to filter the blood. They remove waste products (such as urea) and excess fluids from the blood. These waste products and excess fluids are then excreted from the body as urine.

• Regulating blood glucose levels is mainly the function of the pancreas (through hormones like insulin and glucagon).
• Transporting oxygen to the body's cells is the function of red blood cells (involved in the respiratory and circulatory systems).
• Producing and secreting digestive enzymes is the function of organs like the pancreas (pancreatic enzymes) and salivary glands (salivary amylase).
• Regulating body temperature is a complex process involving the skin (sweating for cooling, vasoconstriction/vasodilation), muscles (shivering for heat production), and the hypothalamus (thermoregulatory center).

Answer:

Filtering waste products and excess fluids from the blood.
