Blood pressure results from the force of blood fluids pressing against the walls of blood vessels. Hypertension, or high blood p

ressure, is often caused by a constriction of the blood vessels by fatty deposits in artery walls. However, another cause of high blood pressure can be the intake of too much sodium in foods and table salt.
Why would too much salt intake cause someone to develop high blood pressure?
A) Salt in the bloodstream causes fluids to enter the blood from surrounding cells, due to osmosis.
B) Salt in the bloodstream causes fluids in the blood to leave and go to surrounding cells, due to osmosis.
C) People that take in too much salt will drink more water to balance out the salt, which raises blood pressure.
D) Extra salt solidifies in the bloodstream and blocks the blood vessels, causing them to narrow, and blood pressure to go up.

The right answer is A)

Sodium is a mineral element essential for the proper functioning of the body. He is also very present in our plasma ...

High salt intake increases blood pressure and the risk of cardiovascular disease. High blood pressure (HTA) is a very common chronic disease, and only half are well treated and controlled. The risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (infarction, stroke, etc.) increases gradually when the blood pressure exceeds 115/75 mmHg. HTA kills nearly 8 million people every year worldwide.

Sort the items based on whether they have gravitational potential energy or chemical potential energy. liquid petroleum gasoline
poizon [28]

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy of body due to its position in the gravitational field.

Whereas chemical potential energy is the energy within the chemical bonds of a substance.

For example, when we eat an apple then we get energy in our body so, it is the chemical potential energy stored in the apple.

Items sorted on the bases of gravitational potential energy and chemical potential energy are as follows.

Gravitational potential energy:

  • a ball thrown up in the air.
  • a stone rolling downhill.
  • water stored in an overhead tank.

Chemical potential energy:

  • liquid petroleum gasoline used in cars.
  • apples that people eat.
  • firecrackers that people set off.
