KROK 1 2015 – Question 52 · KROK (Medicine) · Physiology
For people adapted to high external temperatures profuse sweating is not accompanied by loss of large volumes of sodium chloride. This is caused by the effect the following hormone has on the perspiratory glands:
- A. Natriuretic
- B. Thyroxin
- C. Aldosterone
- D. Cortisol
- E. Vasopressin
Hint
Sweat ducts can take sodium back from the fluid passing through them, much as renal tubules do; ask which hormone regulates that process when salt must be spared.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
