Objective51,52: Describe Kidney Functions, Their Involvement in Blood Pressure and Blood Volume Regulation

The kidney functions and their involvement in blood pressure are described in detail and put in a way I was able to understand. It explained to me the way that the kidneys secrete or hold fluids in response to hormones to thin or thicken the blood. It explains how the kidneys produce more or less urine in response to ADH released by the posterior pituitary gland. For the first time, I understood how the kidneys reabsorbed more water and produced less urine in response to antidiuretic hormone(ADH).
