Mariana [72]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The correct answer is E.

Explanation:

The main function of <u>atrial natriuretic peptide</u> (ANP) is to reduce extracellular fluid volume by increasing renal sodium excretion.

<u>Aldosterone</u> is a steroid hormone, produced by the adrenal cortex, that is part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system which helps to maintain blood pressure. Aldosterone increases reabsorption of sodium and potassium excretion, and as a result an increase in extracellular fluid volume and in blood pressure.  

In conclusion, <em>ANP reduces aldosterone secretion.</em>

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

B. Hypokalemia

Explanation:

symptoms and signs of mild alkalemia are usually related to the underlying disorder. More severe alkalemia increases protein binding of ionized calcium, leading to hypocalcemia and subsequent headache, lethargy, and neuromuscular excitability, sometimes with delirium, tetany, and seizures. Alkalemia also lowers threshold for anginal symptoms and arrhythmias. Concomitant hypokalemia may cause weakness.

In the given example, the infant's weight is 6lb that is 2,912 g. It will be double for the baby following the normal growth at the 4th month. Hence, the weight would be around  13lb (5900g) at the 4th month.
