Correct answer: C. Haemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis
- A. Blood Dialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis
- B. Plasma Dialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis
- C. Haemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis
- D. Hemodialysis and Permanent dialysis

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.
