Which of the following occurs when blood volume and pressure become too high?

A.

The renal tubules reabsorb more water.

B.

The kidneys produce less urine.

C.

ADH release is inhibited.

D.

The renal tubules reabsorb more sodium.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A. The renal tubules reabsorb more water. If blood volume and pressure are too high, the body would aim to reduce them, not increase them further. Reabsorbing more water would increase blood volume.

 

B. The kidneys produce less urine. To lower blood volume and pressure, the kidneys would increase urine production, not decrease it. 

 

C. ADH release is inhibited: ADH (antidiuretic hormone) promotes water reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to increased blood volume and pressure. When blood volume and pressure are too high, the body inhibits ADH release to promote water excretion and lower blood volume and pressure.

 

D. The renal tubules reabsorb more sodium. Reabsorbing more sodium would lead to water retention, increasing blood volume and pressure, which is the opposite of what the body needs when blood volume and pressure are already high.

A. Mucosa (mucous membrane): The mucosa is the innermost layer of the digestive tract, not the outermost. It includes the epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosae.

B. Serosa (mesentery): The serosa is the outermost layer of the digestive tract in parts where it is covered by peritoneum. It consists of a thin layer of areolar tissue topped by simple squamous epithelium.

C. Muscularis externa: The muscularis externa is a layer of muscle in the digestive tract, located beneath the serosa. It is not the outermost layer.

D. Submucosa: The submucosa is a layer of connective tissue located between the mucosa and muscularis externa. It is not the outermost layer.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Pyelitis is an infection of the renal pelvis and does not cause sweet-smelling urine.

B. Diabetes mellitus often causes glycosuria (glucose in urine), which can make urine taste sweet.

C. Renal calculus (kidney stones) does not affect urine sweetness.

D. Acute glomerulonephritis affects kidney function and urine appearance but does not specifically cause sweet-smelling urine.
