The correct answer is "a steroid hormone that reduces the amount of fluid excreted in the urine".
Aldosterone is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal gland, whose main function is the homeostatic regulation of the blood pressure, plasma sodium, and plasma potassium levels.
Aldosterone's main mechanism of action is to regulate the reabsorption of sodium and excretion of potassium in the kidney, which in turn influences the retention of water and the volume and pressure of the blood. Based on all this, aldosterone reduces the amount of fluid excreted in the urine.
Blood is essential for many organisms, such as humans and animals, for its important function of transporting substances (food, oxygen), vitamins, waste (carbon dioxide), hormones, etc. to all tissues and cells of the body.
1) Blood volume
If the blood volume increases ==> the blood flow increases.
2) Viscosity of blood
If we have an increase in blood viscosity ==> we have a decrease in blood flow
3) Peripheral Resistance
If there is an increase in peripheral resistance ==> the blood flow decreases
4) Diameter of blood vessels
If we have an increase in diameter of
blood vessels ==> decreased peripheral resistance ==> increased blood flow
5) Blood pressure
If the blood pressure increases ==> the blood flow increases.
6) In case of diseases
In the case of atherosclerosis or acute coronary syndrome ==> blood flow decreases.
7) Physical excercises:
During physical exercises ==> the heart rate increases ==> the blood flow increases.

Answer:
A. They were part of the control group
Explanation:
In a scientific experiment, the CONTROL GROUP as opposed to the experimental group is the group that does not receive the experimental treatment. This acts as a standard for comparison.
In this question, the EXPERIMENTAL VACCINE is the experimental treatment or independent variable that was added. The five animal test subjects that was injected with this vaccine are called the EXPERIMENTAL GROUP while the other five test subjects that were rather injected with a PLACEBO are called CONTROL GROUPS.
If the inner lining of the air sacs neither thin nor highly vascularized, then it can be inferred that AIR SACS ARE CANNOT BE THE SITES OF GASEOUS EXCHANGE BETWEEN AIR AND BLOOD. Air sacs are generally lined with mucus and surrounded with blood capillaries.
In case of birds, air sacs play an important role in respiratory system.
