Optiosn are not provided in the question. The complete question s as following:
The most recent blood work of a client with a diagnosis of heart failure indicates increased levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). What are the most likely effects of these peptides on the patient's physiology?
A. Water retention
B. Increased tubular sodium reabsorption
C. Counteracting the effects of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
D. Sympathetic nervous stimulation
Answer:
C. Counteracting the effects of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
Explanation:
Atrial and ventricular volume / pressure expansion trigger the production of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) which are endogenously produced peptides.
The ANP and BNP plasma levels increase according to the extent of the heart failure. Myocardial stretching is a key factor in stimulating ANP and BNP secretion, while neurohumoral factors also play a role in the secretion process.
Natriuresis, Vasodilatation and activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) and sympathetic nervous systems are the main physiological effects of ANP and BNP; both of which are expected to prevent the development of heart failure.
Hence, the correct option is C.
I think is A not sure but makes more sense
The clean water act was the law that required industries to reduce or eliminate point source pollution in surface waters. The clean water act was the federal law in the united states that was signed in 1972 governing water pollution. it was enacted to provide for the prevention and control of water pollution, and for the maintaining or restoring wholesomeness of water in the country. The growing public awareness and concern for controlling water pollution led to sweeping amendments in 1972, thus establishing basic structure for regulating pollution discharges into the waters of the united states.
Answer:
Natural selection
Explanation:
the process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change. Individuals in a population are naturally variable, meaning that they are all different in some ways.
Milk,meat,fish,poultry,eggs,soy,legumes, etc...
