Which of the following would help in prevention of diuresis?
1. Reabsorption of Na+ and water from renal tubules to aldosterone
2. Atrial natriuretic factor causing vasoconstriction
3. Decrease in secretion of renin by JG cells

The functions of human kidneys do not include:
1. Secretion of renin to regulate GFR and blood pressure.
2. Activating vitamin D.
3. Site of maximum gluconeogenesis in the body.
4. Production of erythropoietin that stimulates bone marrow.
