Explanation / Answer

Q 1.

Answer: D (all of the above)

Q 2.

Answer: D (two of the above)

Explanation: aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone having the function of regulating the amount of sodium and water in the body.

Aldosterone act by increases the reabsorption of sodium and water.

Whereas antidiuretic hormone reduces the amount of water excreted in urine.

This results in conservation of body water and decrease in urine production.

Renin responds to low blood volume or decreased sodium levels in the body.
