-Aldosterone

Accepted Answer

Aldosterone is a hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex that increases sodium reabsorption in the nephron, leading to increased water retention and increased blood pressure.

Answer: J
 A nephron is a long, slender, tubular unit in the vertebrate kidney that forms urine. Each kidney contains many nephrons.

Answer: O
 Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is a pituitary hormone that increases reabsorption of water through aquaporins in the collecting ducts of the nephron, leading to decreased urine output.

Answer: M
 The nephron uses passive transport of water and active and passive transport of solutes to regulate the composition of blood and form urine. Water and solutes are reabsorbed from the nephron into the peritubular capillaries.

Answer: L and M
 Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption in the nephron, and the nephron uses passive transport of water and active and passive transport of solutes to regulate the composition of blood and form urine.

-Glucagon

Accepted Answer

Glucagon is produced by the pancreas, specifically by alpha cells in the islets of Langerhans. Glucagon works to raise blood glucose levels.

Note: Choice B is incorrect because the adrenal cortex produces hormones such as cortisol, aldosterone, and androgens, but not glucagon. Choice C is incorrect because the adrenal medulla produces adrenaline (epinephrine) and noradrenaline (norepinephrine), but not glucagon. Choice D is incorrect because the anterior pituitary produces hormones such as growth hormone, prolactin, and thyroid-stimulating hormone, but not glucagon. Choice E is incorrect because the thymus gland produces hormones such as thymosin and thymopoietin, but not glucagon. Choice F is incorrect because the hypothalamus produces releasing and inhibiting hormones that regulate the anterior pituitary, but not glucagon. Choice G is incorrect because the parathyroid glands produce parathyroid hormone, which regulates calcium and phosphorus metabolism, but not glucagon. Choice H is the correct answer.
