Question

The first step in maintaining blood pH is through the action of _____________. respiratory system buffers renal system cardiovascular system Hypothalamic osmoreceptors detect an increase in extracellular fluid concentration. How does the hypothalamus react to restore homeostasis? lt stimulates the heart to secrete atrial natriuretic peptide to decrease renin secretion and reduce blood pressure. It stimulates the release of antidluretic hormone from the posterior pituitary gland, to increase water reabsorption in the kidneys. It stimulates hunger. lt decreases aldosterone release from the adrenal glands to increase Na^+ loss in the kidneys. Decreased osmolality of filtrate triggers the release of Renin from the kidneys. This action maintains sodium levels in the body by: triggering antidiuretic hormone secretion from the pituitary gland. triggering atrial natriuretic peptide secretion from the heart Renin is not involved in the regulation of sodium levels. Triggering aldosterone secretion from the adrenal glands

Explanation / Answer

Ans 14 b buffers

Buffers are the substances that resist the changes in ph . They are also present in our body and regulate the ph of blood.
