Answer:

Option c. cause pooling of the blood and decreased venous return to the heart

Explanation:

The ACE inhibitors increases the diameter of the blood vessels (vasodilation) that improves the flow of blood. This reduces the work load on the heart. At the time of heart failure, a substance called angiotensin is released. This angiotensin formation is blocked by the ACE inhibitors. Angiotensin is involved in narrowing the blood vessels.

The ACE cause pooling of the blood and decreased venous return to the heart. The ACE inhibitors causes vasodilation that allows decrease in blood pressure. So, there is no increase in arterial pressure, aldosterone and loss of volume. Thus, option C is correct.

What features are characteristic of Actinopterygii?<br> Actinopterygii are fish that have fins.
nekit [7.7K]
Answer: Characteristics: The fins are supported by rays, as the name indicates. In contrast to the cartilaginous fish they have a rigid skeleton. The swim bladder is also a unique feature of most ray-finned fish, enabling them to maintain buoyancy as they move up or down in the water.

Homeostasis is defined as a state in which the conditions of an organism's internal environment are maintained within tolerable
Kaylis [27]
There are many cases of homeostasis mechanism. In this mechanism, there will be a receptor that will catch a condition. After that, an order will be sent to various place depend on the condition.
One of them is temperature control which was done by shivering or sweating. When your body temperature is too high, the thermoreceptor will detect it and then the brain will send the order to the body sweat glands. Sweat on body surface will evaporate and reduce body temperature.
When the temperature is too low, the brain will tell the muscle to shiver so you can produce heat.

Other than temperature, homeostasis also control blood pressure, or many chemical level(oxygen, glucose).
