Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Altering gastrointestinal absorption does not directly or indirectly control sodium. The other options all play a role in regulating sodium levels in the body. The baroreceptor reflexes help regulate blood pressure, which can in turn affect sodium levels. The renin-angiotensin mechanism stimulates aldosterone release, which promotes sodium retention by the kidneys. Aldosterone activity directly affects sodium balance in the body.
