The Urinary System Does All of the Following Except

Question

The urinary system does all of the following except
A) excreting excess albumin molecules.
B) regulating blood volume.
C) helping to stabilize blood pH.
D) eliminating organic waste products.
E) regulating plasma concentrations of electrolytes.

Accepted Answer

The urinary system is responsible for excreting many waste products such as urea, creatinine, and uric acid, but it does not excrete excess albumin molecules. Albumin is a protein that is normally retained in the blood and helps to maintain osmotic balance. If excess albumin is found in the urine, it is a sign of kidney damage or disease.
