, \ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is secreted in response to - ANS-increased osmotic pressure of the
body fluids
\Albinism in which there is an absence of melanin pigment would affect the individual's ability to
- ANS-have high levels of visual acuity and prevent scattering of light inside the eye.
\All of the following are changes due to age-related decreases in endocrine secretions, except -
ANS-inability to regulate blood glucose levels
\All of the following characteristics of hormones except - ANS-Hormones interact with any cells
in contact with bloodstream
\All of the following terms relate to lipids. Which does not belong with the other four? -
ANS-triglyceride
