Explanation

Dialysis is a process used to remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys are not functioning properly. There are two main types of dialysis: Hemodialysis, where blood is filtered outside the body using a machine, and Peritoneal Dialysis, which uses the lining of the abdomen as a natural filter. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the number of primary dialysis types available.

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.
