Question

Which of the following describes how the endocrine system could cause blood pressure to increase?

Options:
A. By releasing a hormone that constricts blood vessels and increase blood volume
B. By releasing a hormone that dilates blood vessels and increase blood volume
C. By releasing a hormone that constricts blood vessels and decreases blood volume
D. By releasing a hormone that dilates blood vessels and decreases blood volume

Answer 1

I think the best answer for the question your asking is A; the reason why is because with constricted blood vessels and increased blood volume that's your best way to have increased blood pressure.

Answer 2

Answer;

A. By releasing a hormone that constricts blood vessels and increase blood volume

Explanation;

• The endocrine system controls blood pressure through the renin-angiotensin system, together with the balance of body fluids.
• The hormone Angiotesin II causes the blood vessels to constrict and the blood pressure increases.
• The hormone Angiotensin II also stimulates the release of hormone aldosterone in the adrenal glands which increases the retention of sodium nd water and the release of potassium.
• Angiotensin II and aldosterone work to raise the blood volume, blood pressure and sodium levels in the blood.
