Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spending several hours mowing the lawn on a hot day would result in sweating and loss of water and electrolytes, leading to a need for osmoregulatory adjustments. This would initiate the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which would lead to the retention of sodium and water, and excretion of potassium to maintain electrolyte balance.
