What is the physiological functions of adh and aldosterone?
kidney functions
What hormone increases absoption of sodium by kidney tubes?
Aldosterone.
What hormones retains sodium in the body?
aldosterone retains salt at the distal convoluted tubule and the water follows
What is aldosterone hormone?
Aldosterone is a hormone that is produced by the adrenal glands. It works primarily on kidney (renal) cells to help maintain the balance of fluids and electrolytes in our bodies. Its mainly works to control reabsorption of sodium and chloride and secretion of potassium and hydrogen. If aldosterone production is not functioning properly, there can be serious consequences to the heart, kidneys and electrolyte balance.
What regulates the amount of potassium excreted by the kidneys?
The Na/K ATP pump, insulin, catecolamins, the kidney (pH balance) and aldosterone.
Aldosterone has its effects mainly on the cells of the?
Kidney
What is the physiological functions of adh and aldosterone?
kidney functions
The hormone that influences sodium reabsorption in the kidney is?
aldosterone
What is the hormone that reduces the loss of sodium and water by the kidney?
Aldosterone
What hormone increases absoption of sodium by kidney tubes?
Aldosterone.
What Part of excretory system acts as a blood filter?
kidney
What is two hormones that enhance sodium reabsorbtion in the kidney?
cortisol and aldosterone
What hormone regulates sodium re absorption in the distal convoluted tubule?
Sodium and potassium levels are controlled by secreting K+ and absorbing Na+. Sodium absorption by the distal tubule is mediated by the hormone aldosterone. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption.
Hormones that prevent loss of sodium ions?
Aldosterone. Aldosterone acts on the Na+/K+ ATPase pump in the Distal Proximal Tube/Collecting duct in the kidney. Importantly, when this pump action is up-regulated, Na+ re-absorption goes up along with WATER, which is recovered with the sodium ions.

What hormone promotes the reabsorbtion of sodium and potassium ions by the kidney?
When the macula densa in the distal tubules of the kidney sense a decrease in fluid volume, the renin-aldosterone system is activated. Aldosterone is the hormone responsible for sodium retention, causing water to be conserved.
What are three hormones that can regulate kidney function?
ADH, Aldosterone and Atrial Natriuretic peptide(ANP)
