Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The kidneys regulate blood volume and pressure by the elimination or conservation of water. This is achieved through the regulation of urine concentration and volume, which is controlled by the hormone aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone (ADH). As water is reabsorbed or excreted, the blood volume and pressure can be adjusted accordingly.
