- A. Micturition will continue
- B. Urine will continue to collect normally in the bladder
- C. There will be no micturition
- D. Urine will not collect in the bladder

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.
