The most recent blood work of a client with a diagnosis of heart failure indicates increased levels of atrial natriuretic peptid
kipiarov [429]

Optiosn are not provided in the question. The complete question s as following:

The most recent blood work of a client with a diagnosis of heart failure indicates increased levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). What are the most likely effects of these peptides on the patient's physiology?

A. Water retention

B. Increased tubular sodium reabsorption

C. Counteracting the effects of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system

D. Sympathetic nervous stimulation

Answer:

C. Counteracting the effects of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system

Explanation:

Atrial and ventricular volume / pressure expansion trigger the production of  atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and  brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) which are endogenously produced peptides.

The ANP and BNP plasma levels increase according to the extent of the heart failure. Myocardial stretching is a key factor in stimulating ANP and BNP secretion, while neurohumoral factors also play a role in the secretion process.

Natriuresis, Vasodilatation and activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) and sympathetic nervous systems are the main physiological effects of ANP and BNP; both of which are expected to prevent the development of heart failure.

Hence, the correct option is C.

Fungal endophytes are symbiotic fungi found to be beneficial for cacao trees against pathogenic attacks. Imagine having two caca
Neporo4naja [7]

Given what we know, we can confirm that the tree with the fungi will be more likely to survive.

<h3>Why would this tree survive over the other one?</h3>

This has to do with the benefit from the symbiotic relationship established with the fungi. In exchange for nutrients to live, the fungi offer the tree protection from pathogens such as the one it is being injected with.

Therefore, we can confirm that the tree with the fungi will be more likely to survive.
