Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During a marathon, the body is under physical stress, leading to the release of hormones that help cope with this stress and maintain homeostasis. Epinephrine (A) is released in response to stress, increasing heart rate and blood flow to muscles. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) (B) is released to conserve water due to sweating. Angiotensin II (C) can be released due to dehydration, leading to vasoconstriction to maintain blood pressure. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) (D), however, is released in response to an increase in blood volume and pressure, typically to reduce these parameters, which is less likely during a marathon when the body is trying to conserve water and maintain blood pressure.
