Question

Which of the following is not a function of kidney ?

• A. Regulation of blood pressure
• B. Removal of urea
• C. Regulation of acidity of fluids
• D. Secretion of antibiotics

Answer 1

The correct option is D Secretion of antibiotics

The kidneys are important organs with many functions in the body, including producing hormones, absorbing minerals, and filtering blood.

Functions of kidney are:

- Regulation of water and electrolyte balance
- Regulation of body fluid osmolarity and electrolyte concentration
- Regulation of acid-base balance
- Regulation of arterial pressure
- Excretion of metabolic waste and foreign chemicals
- Secretion of hormones like erythropoietin and renin

Antibiotics are chemicals that kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria and are used to treat bacterial infections. They are produced in nature by soil bacteria and fungi.

So, secretion of antibiotics is not a function of the kidneys.
