KROK 1 2010 – Question 58 · KROK (Medicine) · Physiology
Atria of an experimental animal were superdistended by blood that resulted in decreased reabsorption of Na+ and water in renal tubules. This can be explained by the influence of the following factor upon kidneys:
- A. Angiotensin
- B. Vasopressin
- C. Aldosterone
- D. Renin
- E. Natriuretic hormone
Hint
Think about which signal from a stretched heart chamber would tell the kidney to excrete salt and water, in contrast to the systems that conserve volume.
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.
