Answer #1

Correct answer is - Acidosis

Expalnation : Acidosis is a condition in which hydrogen ion concentration in blood is more. pH of blood is less than 7.35 in acidosis. In order to maintain normal pH, body will excrete more H+ ions through kidney. Normal pH is needed for optimum functioning of various enzymes in our body.

** Alkalosis is a condition in which blood pH is more than normal (> 7.45).So excretion of H+ will worsen the condition.

**Hyponatremia - The level of sodium ions in blood is less than normal

**Hypokalemia - The level of potassium ions in blood is less than normal.

Renal physiology (select the CORRECT statement) Aldosterone increases both sodium excretion and potassium reabsorption. Angiotensin II acts on the adrenal medulla to cause the release of aldosterone. The enzyme ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) enzymatically cleaves angiotensinogen to generate angiotensin I. Hyperkalemia has a hyperpolarizing effect on excitable cardiac cells and can lead to life-threatening arrhythmias. Angiotensin II acts on the medulla oblongata to increase the sympathetic regulation of cardiac output.
