Which of the following activities is NOT related to kidney function?
A
Synthesis of digestive enzymes
B
Production of urine
C
Regulation of electrolyte balance
D
Regulation of blood pressure
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Begin by identifying the primary functions of the kidneys. The kidneys are responsible for filtering blood, producing urine, regulating electrolyte balance, maintaining fluid balance, and controlling blood pressure through mechanisms like the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.
Step 2: Understand that the kidneys do not play a role in synthesizing digestive enzymes. Digestive enzymes are produced by organs such as the pancreas, salivary glands, and stomach, which are part of the digestive system, not the urinary system.
Step 3: Compare each option provided in the question to the known functions of the kidneys. Eliminate options that align with kidney functions, such as 'Production of urine,' 'Regulation of electrolyte balance,' and 'Regulation of blood pressure.'
Step 4: Recognize that 'Synthesis of digestive enzymes' is unrelated to kidney function, as it pertains to the digestive system rather than the urinary system.
Step 5: Conclude that the activity 'Synthesis of digestive enzymes' is the correct answer to the question, as it is not related to kidney function.
