What hormone regulates sodium re absorption in the distal convoluted tubule?
Wiki User

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.

Depending which part of the kidney..in the PCT it's angiontensin 2, at the DCT and collecting ducts it's aldosterone.

How sediment accumulates?
Sediment accumulation is where sediment accumulates generally in the point of the lowest elevation. If sediment is in a river generally the sediment will accumulate at the mouth of the delta when entering the marine environment (proximal to distal).
How do the scientists know the universe is expanding?
The main piece of evidence (there are others) is the redshift from distant galaxies. This is usually interpreted as a result of the Doppler effect - i.e., the galaxies are moving away from us.
What area of the nephron is sensitive to the hormone aldosterone?
Distal convoluted tubule
The hormone ADH functions to promote water re-abdsorption through the wall of what in the kidney?
distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct.The distal convoluted tubule
In which region of the nephron does secretion occur?
The distal tubule
What are the functions of the distal convoluted tubule in urine production?
absorption of more Na+ (if aldosterone present) and absorption of more water (if ADH is present)
What hormone from the adrenal cortex will cause the distal convoluted tubules to reabsorb more sodium ions?
adh
What is the primary site of tubular reabsorption in the kidneys?
The distal convoluted tubule or the collecting tube.
Anti duretic hormone increases absorption of?
It increase the reabsorption of water. That is from distal convaluted tubules
What histological feature distinguishes proximal convoluted tubule from a distal convoluted tubule?
Proximal convoluted tubules have brush borders or microvilli on the inner edge of the tubule. Distal convoluted tubules do not have this structure.
What is the role of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) in the body?
ADH makes the collecting duct & distal convoluted tubule of the nephron more permeable to water
What are the subdivisons of the renal tubule?
Proximal convoluted tubule, Loop of henle and Distal convoluted tubule.
Is the collecting duct the site that drains the distal convoluted tubule?
No, the collecting duct is the site where the filtrate from multiple nephrons is collected and the final adjustments to urine concentration are made. The distal convoluted tubule drains into the collecting duct.
What is finally reabsorbed in distal convoluted tubule?
Bicarbonate.
