Answer 1

Ans16. Correct 2nd because- Underactive.

Hypofunction of the prostate or seminal vesicles causes abnormal viscosity of seminal fluid. Infection and high levels of seminal leukocytes may also result in the development of SHV. Oxidative stress and biochemical and genetic factors can furthermore contribute to this condition.

Answer 17. Correct-4th

Elevated BP: In response to decreased blood pressure, the sympathetic system is activated. It causes constriction of the blood vessels. As a result, the total peripheral resistance increases, and the blood pressure goes up.

Answer 18: Correct-Endocrine system.

The kidneys provide a hormonal mechanism for the regulation of blood pressure by managing blood volume. ... Angiotensin II stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete aldosterone, a hormone that reduces urine output by increasing retention of H 2O and Na + by the kidneys (raising blood pressure by increasing blood volume).
