Too much ACTH release causes hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) could also cause:
Correct answer: A. Increased blood pressure
- A. Increased blood pressure
- B. Increased blood calcium
- C. Decreased body temperature
- D. Decreased metabolism
Explanation
Hyperglycemia increases blood pressure by promoting fluid retention and impairing blood vessel function, leading to increased vascular resistance. Additionally, it can contribute to the development of atherosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction, further elevating blood pressure.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
