Acid-base balance in the human body is regulated by:
1. heart and lungs | 2. liver and hypothalamus |
3. kidneys and lungs | 4. lungs and heart |
An increase in blood flow to the atria of the heart can cause the release of ANF. ANF:
I: | is a potent vasoconstrictor |
II: | can cause a decrease in blood pressure |
III: | acts as a check on RAAS |
1. Only I and II are correct
2. Only III is correct
3. Only II and III are correct
4. Only I is correct
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.
An excessive loss of both salt and body fluids caused for example, by a major wound, will lead to:
I. Increased secretion of ADH in the body
II. Activation of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone mechanism
1. | Only I | 2. | Only II |
3. | Both I and II | 4. | Neither I nor II |
