Answer:

a. True

Step-by-step explanation:

pH can be regulated by the collecting duct of the kidney. Collecting duct play an important role in the maintenance of pH and ionic balance of the blood by the selective secretion of hydrogen ions (protons) and potassium ions. Collecting duct is long duct which extends from the cortex of the kidney to the inner part of the medulla. In the collecting duct, a large amount of water reabsorption occurs.
