Answer:

The urinary system consists of the ureters, kidneys,  bladder, and urethra, also known as the renal system or urinary tract. It performs several functions including:

1. Regulate blood volume and pressure: change the amount of water lost in urine, EPO (more bone marrow activates RBC) and Renin

2. Regulate concentrations of plasma ions: monitors potassium, sodium, and chloride ions lost through urine and calcium ion levels by calcitriol synthesis (osteoclast activity and prevents urinary loss)

3. Helps to regulate blood pH: monitor hydrogen ion loss and bicarbonate ions in urine

4. Conserve essential nutrients: preventing nutrient excretion when excreting agricultural wastes

5. Help to detoxify toxins in the liver

klemol [59]

Answer;

-Sodium

Because Andy has high blood pressure and heart disease, he must lower his intake of Sodium.

Explanation;

-Eating substances rich in sodium such as salt raises the amount of sodium in the bloodstream and wrecks the delicate balance, reducing the ability of the kidneys to remove the water.The result is a higher blood pressure due to the extra fluid and extra strain on the delicate blood vessels leading to the kidneys.

-Therefore, for an individual with high blood pressure and heart disease like the case of Andy, he or she must lower the intake of sodium.
