Difference between Homeostasis and Kidney

Homeostasis vs. Kidney

Homeostasis is the tendency of organisms to auto-regulate and maintain their internal environment in a stable state. The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs present in left and right sides of the body in vertebrates.

Similarities between Homeostasis and Kidney

Homeostasis and Kidney have 44 things in common (in Unionpedia): Acid–base homeostasis, Adrenal gland, Aldosterone, Amino acid, Ancient Greek, Angiotensin, Atrial natriuretic peptide, Bicarbonate, Blood pressure, Bone marrow, Brain, Calcitriol, Calcium, Carbon dioxide, Collecting duct system, Countercurrent exchange, Distal convoluted tubule, Electrolyte, Erythropoietin, Extracellular fluid, Glucose, Hormone, Hypothalamus, Kidney failure, Liver, Loop of Henle, Mammal, Metabolism, Molality, Nephron, ..., Parasympathetic nervous system, Parathyroid hormone, PH, Phosphate, Potassium, Proximal tubule, Renin, Renin–angiotensin system, Sodium, Spinal cord, Sympathetic nervous system, Thoracic diaphragm, Vasoconstriction, Vasopressin.
