Which of the following statements about aldosterone is NOT correct?- Aldosterone is stimulated by decreased plasma sodium levels

and increased plasma potassium levels.- Aldosterone increases the number of passive sodium channels in the luminal membrane of the distal tubule and collecting duct, thus aiding sodium reabsorption.-Aldosterone is produced in the adrenal cortex.-Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption by increasing the number of Na+-K+ ATPase pumps in the luminal membrane of the proximal tubule.

Answer:

C. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption by increasing the number of Na+-K+ ATPase pumps in the luminal membrane of the proximal tubule.

Explanation;

  • Aldosterone hormone is produced by the adrenal gland and mainly carries out its functions in the kidney.Through the aldosterone hormone the body is able to retain more water for the kidney is able to hold more sodium.
  • When the plasma sodium levels decrease and the plasma potassium levels increase the production of aldosterone hormone is stimulated for sodium is needed in the .body to maintain the high water levels in the body.

What happens when the temperature of air decreases to the dew point or below the dew point
svet-max [94.6K]

When the temperature of the air becomes almost equal to the dew point the air becomes saturated and the relative humidity during this condition becomes 100%. If the temperature of the air decrease below the dew point the relative humidity will be 100% or exceeds 100%. This condition, when the temperature of the air decreases below the dew point is called supersaturation but most of the time the temperature of the air will be lower than the dew point.

Si todas las células del organismo reaccionaran cómo lo hacen las del higado, se esperaría que ?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Si todas las células reaccionaran como el hígado, cada una tendría la capacidad de producir proteínas, colesterol, almacenamiento y liberación de glucosa, procesaría la producción de hemoglobina y amoníaco en la urea, purificaría las drogas y los desechos, regularía la coagulación, produciría los factores necesarios en la respuesta inmune e intervendría en la formación de bilirrubina, principalmente, sin embargo, debe tenerse en cuenta que una de las funciones principales es el suministro de energía, si cada célula tuviera reservas de glucosa por momentos de estrés, rápida regeneración celular ante las lesiones, las células no tendrían la capacidad de tener una adaptación específica de sus funciones y los procesos que son básicos para el funcionamiento humano serían destruidos, como un eritrocito cuya función es el transporte de oxígeno, no lo haría ser viable si se dedica a producir glucosa porque su estructura debería adaptarse a otra y sin oxígeno el cuerpo no vive, por lo que sería caótico que los sistemas sí no tienen una adaptación específica y son las mismas, aunque las reacciones hepáticas son vitales, requiere el apoyo de otros órganos con diferentes funciones para que estas tengan lugar, es de resaltar que el hígado tiene una respuesta rápida y efectiva ante el estrés, busca recursos para poder mantener funcionando muchos sistemas, si las células se adaptarán con la misma rapidez, se evitaría la aparición de muchas enfermedades.
