ANSWERS.✔️✔M ️ utations in genes or chromosomal abnormalities
How does development disrupts congenital abnormalities? - CORRECT
ANSWERS.✔️✔️Alterations of DNA
Describes factors that disrupt homeostasis and how disruptions affect wellbeing. -
CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️(ex) Fluid and electrolyte shifts can cause n/v or
dysrhythmias.
Explain RAAS - CORRECT ANSWERS.✔️✔️Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
1. Reduce blood flow causes kidneys to release renin
> produce angiotensin I > converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II >
vasoconstriction > release aldosterone > kidneys conserve sodium and water >
Result less water lost in urine and blood pressure maintained.
