Which area is sensitive to aldosterone?
Aldosterone is sensitive to a few different things. The main thing it is sensitive to is the kidneys.
Do kidneys release hormones?
Yes, I believe aldosterone is one.
Which two hormones normally have the greatest influence on the kidneys?
Aldosterone and ADH
What regulatory chemicals involve or target the kidneys?
Angiotensin, Aldosterone, ADH, and ANP.
Do the kidneys secrete aldosterone?
Kidneys regulate the body's fluid volume, mineral composition and acidity by excreting and reabsorbing water and inorganic electrolytes. This helps balance these substance (which include sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, sulfate, phosphate and hydrogen) in the body and keep their normal concentrations in the extracellular fluid.
Affects the kidneys by promoting the uptake of sodium and other salts from body fluids?
Aldosterone
Aldosterone promotes the homeostasis of ions by causing the kidneys to?
conserve sodium and excrete potassium
What characteristics does an abnormal aldosterone assay have?
Increased levels of aldosterone are found in Conn's disease (aldosterone-producing adrenal tumor), and in cases of Bartter's syndrome (a condition in which the kidneys overexcrete potassium, sodium and chloride, resulting in low.
What is the hormone that is important in regulation of sodium water balance?
Aldosterone is the hormone produced by the adrenal gland which is responsible for salt (sodium) regulation of the body.
What structure produces aldosterone?
The adrenal cortex, where aldosterone is produced, is part of the adrenal gland.
The main hormone that acts on the kidneys to regulate sodium ion concentration of the extracellular fluid is?
Aldosterone
