1. Regulation of extracellular fluid volume. The kidneys work to ensure an adequate quantity of plasma to keep blood flowing to vital organs.

2. Regulation of osmolarity. The kidneys help keep extracellular fluid from becoming too dilute or concentrated with respect to the solutes carried in the fluid.

3. Regulation of ion concentrations. The kidneys are responsible for maintaining relatively constant levels of key ions including sodium, potassium and calcium.

Kidneys also perform other amazing physiological feats, from regulating the amount of fluid in your body to controlling the salt content of that fluid. Here are three more amazing kidney functions.

Which action explains how a somatic cell mutation can harm an organism
wel

Somatic mutations are acquired after birth in non-reproductive cells. These changes occur in only certain cells of the body and can be caused by tobacco use, ultraviolet radiation, viruses, chemicals and age. Acquired mutations are the most common cause of cancer.

Humans experience many somatic mutations over a lifetime, and the human body is normally able to correct most of these changes. This is why there is only a small chance of one mutation causing cancer. It normally takes many mutations over a lifetime to cause cancer. This is why older people are the most likely group to get cancer, as they have had more chances for mutations to build up.

What is happening beneath your skin that causes you to sweat?
timofeeve [1]
Apocrine glands develop in areas abundant in hair follicles, such as on your scalp, armpits and groin. Sweating is your body's mechanism to cool itself. Your nervous system automatically triggers your sweat glands when your body temperature rises.
