The Kidney and Homeostasis
While we think of the kidney as an organ of excretion, it is more than that. It does remove wastes, but it also removes normal components of the blood that are present in greater-than-normal concentrations.

of an organism fluctuates less than the external environment. For example the temperature of some organisms remains fairly constant even though the outside temperature fluctuates. The maintenance of constant internal conditions is called homeostasis.

homeostasis The maintenance of a dynamic steady state by regulatory mechanisms that compensate for changes in circumstances. For example, maintaining body temperature whether in a 20oC or a 4oC environment.
