blood pressure - 2025 PACE NSC

Question

This quantity is increased by the synthetic peptide Giapreza. SARS-CoV-2 enters cells by binding its spike protein to an enzyme whose main function is to decrease (20[1])this quantity. (20[1])A system named for aldosterone production increases (20[1])this quantity (20[1])with renin. (20[3]0[1])A water-regulating (20[1])molecule (20[1])named for its arginine residue and its control over this quantity is also known as the (*) antidiuretic hormone. (10[1])This quantity is decreased by nitric oxide and increased by (0[1])angiotensin. High measurements of this quantity with a sphygmomanometer ("s'fig-moh-muh-NOM-eh-ter") can motivate the prescription of vasodilators. This quantity is reported as a ratio of its "systolic" and "diastolic" values. For 10 points, name this quantity (10[1])that is increased in hypertension. ■END■ (10[1])
