What physiological effect does the release of Atrial Natriuretic Factor (ANF) have on blood vessels?

Detailed Solution for Test: Human Excretory System (NCERT) - Question 14

The release of Atrial Natriuretic Factor (ANF) causes vasodilation, which refers to the widening or dilation of blood vessels. This dilation leads to a decrease in blood pressure. ANF acts as a counterbalance to the renin-angiotensin mechanism by promoting vasodilation, ultimately helping to regulate blood pressure levels in the body.

NCERT Topic: Atrial Natriuretic Factor (ANF) effects

NCERT Line: "ANF can cause vasodilation (dilation of blood vessels) and thereby decrease the blood pressure."

Test: Human Excretory System (NCERT) - Question 15

What substances are eliminated through the secretions of sweat glands and sebaceous glands in the skin?

Detailed Solution for Test: Human Excretory System (NCERT) - Question 15

Sweat glands eliminate substances like NaCl, small amounts of urea, lactic acid, while sebaceous glands eliminate sterols, hydrocarbons, and waxes through their secretions. This process helps in maintaining the skin's health and also provides protective functions. Sweat is primarily involved in cooling the body surface, while sebum from sebaceous glands forms a protective oily covering for the skin.

NCERT Topic: Role of other organs in excretion

NCERT Line: "The sweat and sebaceous glands in the skin can eliminate certain substances through their secretions. Sweat produced by the sweat glands is a watery fluid containing NaCl, small amounts of urea, lactic acid, etc. Sebaceous glands eliminate certain substances like sterols, hydrocarbons and waxes through sebum."
