Chapter 49, Problem 7TYU
Summary Introduction
Concept introduction: The adrenal glands are paired and pyramid-shaped endocrine glands. They are located on the superior surface of the kidney. Both adrenal glands are surrounded within fat and fascia to minimize their movements. Each adrenal gland consists of two regions: adrenal cortex, and adrenal medulla.

Students have asked these similar questions
If aldosterone causes exchange of sodium ion for potassium ion:
A) Then the adrenal cortex regulates serum pH
B) The posterior pituitary is responsible for serum potassium ion levels
C) The adrenal medulla is critical to sodium and potassium levels in the blood
D) None of these answers is correct
E) An adrenal tumor that secretes aldosterone can result in abnormal potassium ion levels
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
The primary function of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is to, (a) increase the amount of water lost at the kidneys. (b) decrease the amount of water lost at the kidneys. (c) dilate peripheral blood vessels to decrease blood pressure. (d) increase absorption along the digestive tract.
