Solution

The kidneys assist other body systems in the following ways:

  1. Regulate calcium ions in the blood
  2. Produce erythropoietin to stimulate blood cell production
  3. Convert vitamin D to its active form needed for calcium absorption by the digestive tract
  4. Regulate the sodium ions and potassium ions for nerve conduction

The kidneys do not stimulate the respiratory center to remove carbon dioxide from the blood. This is primarily the function of the respiratory system.
