The correct answer is "a steroid hormone that reduces the amount of fluid excreted in the urine".
Aldosterone is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal gland, whose main function is the homeostatic regulation of the blood pressure, plasma sodium, and plasma potassium levels.
Aldosterone's main mechanism of action is to regulate the reabsorption of sodium and excretion of potassium in the kidney, which in turn influences the retention of water and the volume and pressure of the blood. Based on all this, aldosterone reduces the amount of fluid excreted in the urine.
Answer:
1. The physiological changes that will occur when someone lives at altitude for an extended period include increased production of more red blood cells.
2. The changes are advantageous as the person can survive lower altitude better and strenuous activities that interferes with breathing.
3. The specific physiological pathway that results in the changes described involves decrease in pulmonary ventilation at high altitude leading to hypoxia then hypoxemia. The body then produces more red blood cells to counteract the lower oxygen saturation in blood in high altitudes.
The Answer is D :) Hope this helps!
Smooth muscle, a type of tissue that allows for constriction or dilation, makes up the blood vessel walls. The absence of striations (stripes), which are present in both skeletal and cardiac muscles, gives smooth muscle its name.
Only smooth muscle cells are found in blood arteries. The tunica media houses these muscle cells, elastic fibres, and connective tissue. Even though vessels only have smooth muscles, skeletal muscle contractions are crucial for the venous system's ability to transport blood from the periphery to the heart.
The autonomic nervous system regulates the smooth muscle found in the walls of hollow internal organs like blood vessels, the gastrointestinal tract, the bladder, and the uterus. Since smooth muscle cannot be consciously controlled, it behaves spontaneously.
