Chapter: Chapter 07 - Quiz Multiple Choice 1. During times of increasing blood volume such as in heart failure, a compensatory renal response is: A) afferent arteriole vasoconstriction and efferent arteriole vasodilation to promote reabsorption of fluid. B) release of urodilatin, which inhibits water and sodium reabsorption thereby leading to diuresis. C) inhibition of atrial and brain natriuretic peptides to prevent fluid retention. D) increase in antidiuretic hormone release which promot...

USABO Latest Update with Verified Solutions Eukaryote An organism whose cells contain complex structures enclosed within membranes. The defining membrane bound structure thats sets them apart from prokaryotic cells is the nucleas or nuclear envelope within which the genetic material is carried. All species of large complex species are eukaryotes, including animals, plants and funghi. Euchromatin This shows as pale areas in the nucleas under electro magnification. It is a less densly...

What is a hormone and how does it act? Hormones are chemical messengers that are responsible for regulation. They are secreted into body fluids, mainly blood. It has specific actions on target tissues, which are any tissue that has specific receptors for that particular hormone. What is a paracrine gland? a secretion that enters interstitial fluid but affects only neighboring cells What is an autocrine gland? A secretion that only affects the secreting cell. What is an en...
