Edema is an abnormal swelling in the body caused by excess fluid retention in the tissues. It is most easily noticeable in the hands, feet, ankles, and face.   Edema occurs primarily because of the body's retention of too much sodium (salt).  The excess sodium causes the body to retain water. A B C An increase A decrease Aldosterone ADH TSH 1 2 5 Using the diagram and table above, complete the sentence below. Edema resulting from excess sodium retention is caused when there is ___A____ in ___B___ secretion from structure ___C___. A: Answer B: Answer C: Answer

If an ARB is prescribed, you would likely expect which one of the following? ●A. the production of angiotensin II would decrease ●B. the amount of aldosterone released would decrease ●C. this drug would affect the heart but not blood vessels ●D. there would be a persistent cough in your patient

Which of the following electrolytes can be described as: regulated by aldosterone, controls skeletal and smooth muscles, and is the most common cation. A. Na+B. K+C. Ca+D. Cl-

A deficiency in vasopressin can lead to which of the following?  Group of answer choices euvolemic hypokalemia euvolemic hyponatremia diabetes insipidus primary hypothyroidism   no references, just homework.

Is the following table correct? Please explain further what will happen to urine concentration and volume when a person is exercising or has diabetes mellitus.

S.S. is a 54 year-old college professor who maintains a healthy lifestyle. He exercises regularly, doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, and tries to keep his weight within the normal range. Recently, he experienced generalized muscle weakness and severe headaches. He made an appointment with his physician, who ordered a battery of blood tests. These tests revealed the following Arterial blood pH 7.50 Arterial blood pCO2 50 mm Hg HCOS 36 mEg/L Serum aldosterone Increased 1. Based on this information, you would expect that serum sodium concentrations would be: A Unable to determine from available information B. Lower than nomal C. Nomal D. Higher than normal

A hypersomotic ECF causes cells to: expand shrink

Which of the following regarding aldosterone is false? the process leading to its release begin with the release of renin it initiates increased placement of Na+/K pumps its target cells are located in the Loop of Henle O it increases the Na+ gradient between the filtrate and the ECF

Describe the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.  State the function of this system.  State how this system helps to control plasma Na+ concentrations and blood pressure.

Hyperaldosteronism (excessive aldosterone release) can be caused by many disease states including tumours in the adrenal gland. By now, we should be familiar with how this will affect sodium balance and blood pressure, but how would hyperaldosteronism affect potassium levels and why? Select one potassium effect (a or b) and one cause (c-f). a. The patient will become hyperkalemic. O b. The patient will become hypokalemic. O c. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption in the proximal tubule. Increased sodium reabsorption increases water reabsorption, which then establishes a concentration gradient to increase potassium reabsorption. Od. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption in the collecting duct. Increased sodium reabsorption increases water reabsorption, which then establishes a concentration gradient to increase potassium reabsorption. O e. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption in the collecting duct by increasing expression of EnaCs, sodium/potassium exchangers, and…
