I believe the answer is: D) supplying oxygenated blood to the arteries that travel to all major parts.

The function of the aorta is to supply oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body into systemic circulation. This differs from answer choice A because choice A seems to be discussing pulmonary circulation, as opposed to systemic. (Pulmonary circulation occurs within the heart and lungs; systemic circulation occurs throughout the body.) Therefore, if the aorta of a human heart is damaged, the ability to supply oxygenated blood to major body parts would be affected.

Answer:

the kidneys excrete salt into the urine when dietary salt levels rise

Explanation:

Hyponatremia is an electrolyte imbalance, with a low level of sodium in the blood. The normal value of sodium in adults is 136 to 145 mEq / L. Sodium is an element, or electrolyte of the blood. Sodium chloride is commonly known as table salt.

Certain conditions can cause decreased sodium in the blood. Specific causes of hyponatremia include:

Water poisoning (water replacement without electrolyte replacement).

Problems in the kidneys, heart or liver.

Medications: such as diuretics, Heparin, certain chemotherapeutics (Aminoglutethimide, Cyclophosphamide and Vincristine).

Conditions related to steroids, hormones or metabolic defects, such as a syndrome that alters the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SSIHA). If this occurs, you urinate frequently and the kidneys excrete too much sodium. This can result from many conditions, including certain types of lung cancer.
