Answer to Question 1

D
The ureter is attached to the kidney pelvis and carries urinary wastes into the bladder. The kid-neys are reddish-brown, bean-shaped organs that filter the blood waste products. The nephrons remove waste products from the blood and regulate water and electrolyte concentrations in body fluids.

Answer to Question 2

D
Adrenal cortex releases aldosterone in response to increased plasma protein levels or as part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone mechanism to counteract hypovolemia. This works to reabsorb sodium and secrete potassium and hydrogen. Because sodium retention leads to water retention, the release of aldosterone acts as a volume regulator.
