KROK 1 2008 – Question 70 · KROK (Medicine) · Physiology
A concentrated solution of sodium chloride was intravenously injected to an animal. This caused decreased reabsorption of sodium ions in the renal tubules. It is the result of the following changes of hormonal secretion:
- A. Aldosterone reduction
- B. Vasopressin reduction
- C. Reduction of atrial natriuretic factor
- D. Aldosterone increase
- E. Vasopressin increase
Hint
Think about how a rise in plasma sodium and extracellular volume after a salt load changes the secretion of the adrenal hormone that promotes sodium retention in the distal nephron.
