Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Release of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is not a response to hypovolemic shock. ANP is released in response to an increase in blood volume and promotes salt and water excretion, which would be counterproductive in hypovolemic shock where blood volume is already low. A, B, C, and E are all responses to hypovolemic shock. Activation of the RAA system and secretion of ADH help retain water and increase blood volume. Activation of the sympathetic division of the ANS increases heart rate and constricts blood vessels to increase blood pressure, while release of local vasodilators would have the opposite effect, promoting increased blood flow to tissues.
