What hormone would increase in the blood during dehydration?
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH). • ADH helps to avoid dehydration or water overload - prevents urine formation
What enzyme is released by the juxtaglomerular cells?

Where is renin synthesized?
Renin is synthesized in the juxtaglomerular cells of the Kidney. Renin acts on the liver to synthesize Angiotensin I
What substance performs the function of renin to the adults?
Renin.
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.
Substance made in the kidney that increases blood pressure?
Renin - hormone secreted by the kidney; it raises blood pressure by influencing vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels) From: DAVI-ELLEN CHABNER THE LANGUAGE OF MEDICINE
What are the hormones of the excretory system?
