Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal cortex that increases reabsorption of sodium by kidney tubules. This helps regulate blood pressure and electrolyte balance.

Answer: A
 ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce cortisol, which is involved in the stress response and helps regulate glucose metabolism and immune function.

Answer: B
 ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is produced by the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary gland. It helps regulate water balance by decreasing urine output and increasing water reabsorption by the kidneys.

Answer: D
 Cortisol is involved in the stress response and helps regulate glucose metabolism and immune function.

Answer: J
 Parathyroid hormone is produced by the parathyroid glands and helps regulate calcium and phosphate levels in the blood. It increases calcium reabsorption by the kidneys, promotes formation of active vitamin D, and increases bone resorption.
