Chapter 19, Problem 15RFT
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Hormones are the chemical messengers released by endocrine glands. They control various body functions. One of these functions includes maintaining blood pressure. This is achieved by retention or removal of sodium ions and water from the blood.

Reduced fluid losses in the urine due to retention of sodium ions and water is a result of the action of, (a) insulin. (c) aldosterone. (b) calcitonin. (d) cortisone.
The higher the plasma concentration of aldosterone, themore efficiently the kidney will(a) conserve sodium ions.(b) retain potassium ions.(c) stimulate urinary water loss. (d) secrete greater amounts of ADH.
Aldosterone ......
A) is secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland (neurohypophysis)
B) increases potassium concentration in blood
C) production is greatly influenced by ACTH

- What controls the secretion of aldosterone under these circumstances?arrow_forwardDuring a state of low blood volume and decreased extracellular sodium level (as in cardiac failure), which one of the following occurs? 1) B. Aldosterone is produced by the kidneys, leading to the release of renin, which increases kidney reabsorption of sodium. 2) D. Antidiuretic hormone produced by the kidneys stimulates the production of aldosterone by the adrenal gland, which increases reabsorption of sodium and water retention. 3) A. Renin is produced by the kidneys and is converted to angiotensin, which induces the secretion of aldosterone by the adrenal gland, which in turn increases reabsorption of sodium and retention of water. 4) C. Renin is produced by the adrenal glands, leading to vasoconstriction and production of antidiuretic hormone by the pituitary gland, which increases fluid volume by causing water retention. no references, just homeworkarrow_forwardWhat effect does an overproduction of the hormone aldosterone have on the concentration of sodium and potassium in the blood?arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is false regarding aging? a) Decreased ability to contribute to vitamin D synthesis, leading to Ca2 + deficiency and bone fractures. b) Numbers of glomeruli decrease and hence the ability to secrete and reabsorb. c) Gradually increasing size of the kidneys d) The ability to concentrate urine decreases and the kidneys respond to memories of ADH and aldosterone.arrow_forwardSelect the best answer or answers from the choices given: Atrial natriuretic peptide secreted by the heart has exactly the opposite function of this hormone secreted by the zona glomerulosa: (a) antidiuretic hormone, (b) epinephrine, (c) calcitonin, (d) aldosterone, (e) androgens.arrow_forwardJames experienced unexplained weight loss, fatigue, and lowblood pressure. After running several tests, his physicianconcluded that James had Addison disease, which involvesdecreased aldosterone production by the adrenal gland. When aldosterone production falls too low, certain kidney cells are unable totransport Na+ back into the blood.Predict 51) How does Addison disease affect Na+levels in the urine?2) Would you expect James’s urine volume to be higher or lowerthan normal?
