A college student has just learned that her latest Pap smear revealed atypical cells, a fact that has resulted in stress and an accompanying release of angiotensin II. How would the effects of this hormone be objectively demonstrated?
A) Increased respiratory rate
B) Increased blood pressure
C) Decreased oxygen saturation
D) Decreased blood sugar
Ans: B
Feedback:
The central nervous system (CNS) effects of angiotensin II include the release of vasopressin and a consequent increase in blood pressure. Increased respiratory rate often accompanies stress, but this is not a direct effect of angiotensin II. Oxygen saturation and blood sugar are objective measures that are unlikely to decrease.
