Chapter 38, Problem 6TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Hormones are the chemical messengers that are secreted into the blood by the glands present in our body. They are transported to the target organs via the circulatory system. They help in the development of growth,

A 65-year-old male patient is prescribed an ACE ( Angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitor (Benazepril ) for the treatment of hypertension. Which statement below is incorrect?
Angiotensin II causes constriction of the vessels and triggers the release of aldosterone.
ACE Inhibitors prevent Angiotensinogen I from converting to Angiotensin II.

- Which of the following is secreted by the kidney and stimulates an increase in the number of red blood cells? cortisol. 20000 aldosterone. thymosin. erythropoietin. atrial natriuretic peptide.arrow_forwardUrination or micturition is a cranial reflex. involves contraction of the detrusor muscle and relaxation of the internal urethral sphincter. stimulates motor neurons that cause the external urethral sphincter to contract. is a reflex that cannot be voluntarily controlled. All of these are correctarrow_forwardMorphine, taken for severe pain, causes a decrease in the amount of urine produced, regardless of levels of hydration. Which of the following rows identifies the effect of morphine on antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion and the reabsorption of water by the kidneys? Row Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) Secretion Reabsorption of Water stimulates ADH secretion more water is reabsorbed inhibits ADH secretion less water is reabsorbed inhibits ADH secretion more water is reabsorbed stimulates ADH secretion less water is reabsorbedarrow_forward
- A patient takes a medication that as a side effect leads to partial inhibition of diuresis. How will this affect the blood pressure of the patient? The patient's blood pressure will decrease. The patient's blood pressure will increase. The patient's blood pressure won't be affected. The patient's blood pressure will decrease but only momentarily.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT a function of the excretory system? * Filtration of wastes from the blood. Secretion of ADH from the collecting duct. Maintaining pH balance by secretion of H+ ions. Osmoregulation via sweating. Releasing carbon dioxide waste from the lungs.arrow_forwardWhich of the following regarding diuretics is false? Diuretics reduce the movement of water out of the filtrate Diuretics reduce ECF fluid volumes Use of diuretics results in increased urine volumes Diuretics increase the placement of aquaporinsarrow_forward
- All of the followings are correct about Atrial natriuretic factor, except ------------------. It is secreted by stretch receptors in the atria It inhibits ADH secretion It increases urine volume It reduces blood pressure It decreases GFRarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are true? Multiple Choice. Signs of dehydration in older adults include weakness, constipation, and mental confusion. All of these choices are correct. The body's water content decreases with advancing age. Risk of urinary incontinence increases as a person ages.arrow_forwardDiuretics cause sodium excretion. Sodium follows water. Therefore, diuretics lead to a reduction in volume (remember BP = heart rate x volume x blood vessel tone (SVR)). Since diuretics lower volume, they lower BP. When would diuretics be indicated? When would they be contraindicated?arrow_forward
