==Calcium==
Calcium homeostasis has three aspects:
* Renal reabsorption - dealt with here
* Intestinal absorption
* [[Calcium Homeostasis - Anatomy & Physiology| Exchange processes from the bones]]
==Urea==
===Urea and Foregut Fermenters===
If species such as cows are fed a low nitrogen diet then a smaller portion of the filtered urea is excreted. Indicating that it is being transported to the fore stomach for processing into microbial protein. This allows the animal to survive longer on low protein diets
===Protein in Feed and Urine Concentration===
* If feed is high in protein then lots of urea is produced and the urine is more concentrated
* If feed is low in protein then less urea is produced and the urine is less concentrated
