What is The Kidneys & ADH?
"Kidney function involves filtering the blood to remove waste products like urea and regulating the body's water and ion balance."
What is the main function of the kidneys in homeostasis?

Urine is produced by filtration of the blood followed by:
Excretion and Osmoregulation
The kidneys filter blood by removing urea, excess ions, and excess water.
ADH is a hormone that controls how much water the kidney tubules reabsorb back into the blood.
More ADH = More water reabsorbed = Small volume of concentrated urine.
