Step-by-Step Analysis

To begin, we restate the task in my own words: we need to match each listed mechanism of action with the hormone from the given options that best implements it. Option-by-option analysis: - Prompt 1: 'Sodium retention to increase BV' – Which hormone promotes sodium reabsorption in the kidneys, thereby expanding blood volume? Aldosterone is the principal mineralocorticoid that increases Na+ reabsorption in the distal tubules and collecting ducts, leading to increased extracellular fluid and blood volume. Therefore, Aldosterone is the correct match for this prompt. The remaining options do not primarily drive sodium retention to the same extent: Erythropoietin boosts RBC production, ADH controls water balance more than Na+ directly, ANP promotes natriuresis and reduces BV, Angiotensin II primarily constricts vessels and stimulates Na+ reabsorption but its direct, primary effect is to increase BP via multiple pathways, not solely sodium retention. - Prompt 2: 'Vaso......Login to view full explanation
