Correct answer: D. Both (A) and (B)
- A. An artificial kidney
- B. Filtering it within abdomen
- C. Removing glucose from blood
- D. Both (A) and (B)
Explanation
The option "both A and B" encompasses both methods of dialysis: hemodialysis (with an artificial kidney) and peritoneal dialysis (filtering within the abdomen). Both methods serve the purpose of cleaning the blood when the kidneys are unable to perform this function adequately.

About Homeostasis
Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.
