Answer:
Option B) functions to increase sodium reabsorption.
Explanation:
Aldosterone is an hormone secreted by the cortex of the adrenal gland. The adrenal gland is situated at the superior poles of the right and left kidneys.
Aldosterone regulates sodium homeostasis and as such helps to control blood volume and blood pressure.
Aldosterone is secreted in response to decreased blood pressure (hypotension) to increase sodium reabsorption from urine, sweat, and the gut. Also excessive aldosterone levels (too high sodium) can lead to high blood pressure (hypertension).
Answer:
Lateral Hypothalamus
Explanation:
According to the hunger researchers' initial assumption lateral hypothalamus is that part of the brain which regulates intake of food and metabolical activities like metabolical regulation of peptides like the orexins melanin-concentrating hormone. It is that part of the brain that plays a key role in the ingestive behavior regulation.
The lateral hypothalamus system initiates physical and cognitive processes like it promotes arousal and feeding behavior, metabolism, regulates body temperature, BP, etc. and when stimulated it results in the feeding behaviour in animals as they begin to eat.
The development of the human embryo follows fertilization, and continues as fetal development. By the end of the tenth week of gestational age the embryo has acquired its basic form and is referred to as a fetus. The next period is that of fetal development where many organs become fully developed.
