Question

question 26 which of the following can stimulate the production of bone matrix and can stimulate the production of proteins inside of skeletal muscle cells? insulin growth factors (igfs) relaxin testosterone estrogens a, c and d question 27 which of the following causes an increase in blood pressure? antidiuretic hormone (adh) aldosterone human growth hormone (hgh) a and b only all of the above

Explanation:

• Question 26: Insulin - like growth factors (IGFs) stimulate the production of bone matrix and proteins in skeletal muscle. They are involved in growth - related processes. Estrogens are mainly related to female reproductive and secondary - sexual characteristics, testosterone to male ones, and relaxin is involved in pregnancy - related processes like softening of ligaments.
• Question 27: Aldosterone increases blood pressure by promoting sodium and water reabsorption in the kidneys, increasing blood volume. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) also increases blood pressure by increasing water reabsorption and blood volume. Human growth hormone (hGH) does not directly cause an increase in blood pressure in the same way as the other two.

Answer:

Question 26: Insulin - like growth factors (IGFs)
Question 27: Aldosterone and Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) (A and B only)
