what hormone promotes sodium ion by the kidney in order to increase blood pressure and blood volume?

Aldesterone


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 is the name of the hormone that promotes sodium retention and potassium secretion?

Natriuretic hormones


How the hormone epinephrine increases the pumping rate of the sodium-potassium exchange pump in skeletal muscles?

Na would decrease, K would increase


What hormone causes sodium to be lost in the urine along with water and helps to lower blood pressure?

A hormone called atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is secreted by the heart in response to a rise in blood pressure and fluctuating sodium-water balances. The result of it's actions (that are a bit tricky but I can elaborate if you require) are that blood pressure is decreased by allowing sodium and water to leave the body via the urine.cortisol


Why is sodium not good?

Sodium is a necessary nutrient; several cellular processes rely on it. However, as with most things, too much of it is bad for you. Probably the biggest concern is that too much sodium promotes hypertension -- high blood pressure. People who are otherwise prone to high blood pressure are often put on sodium-restricted diets.


What are three hormones that regulate the urine volume State where each is made and the specific effect on urine volume?

The 3 hormones that are produced to regulate urine are Aldosterone, AHD (antidiuretic hormone), and ANH (atrial natriuretic hormone). The Aldosterone is released when the blood pressure of the kidney is low. Aldosterones main purpose is to retain sodium and water or the reabsoption of salt. It is secreted by the adrenal cortex (adrenal glands). Antidiuretic hormone is a peptide hormone and is made by the hypothalamus gland it regulates the body's retention of water. A decrease is blood pressure triggers the release of the hormone from the posterior pituitary gland. Atrial Nariuretic hormone is secreted by the heart cells and regulates fluids in the body to help maintain homeostasis. Released ANH causes the kidneys to secret more sodium and lose more water.


How can sodium losses in the urine during water-induced diuresis be replaced?

-Increase in alderstone secretion -Decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) -Increase in ADH (antidiuretic hormone) secretion -Decrease in secretion of atrial natriuretic peptide


What is sodium depletion?

Decrease in sodium level .


What hormone is responsible for blood pressure control?

Atrial Natriuretic Hormone (ANH) Its produced from cells in the right atrium in response to an increase in strength of the arterial wall caused by abnormally high blood volume or blood pressure. These receptors in the atrium are also stimulated by high serum sodium levels. ANH acts on the kids to increase sodium loss. Increased loss of urinary sodium pulls water into the urine, resulting in a decreased blood volume and a decrease in blood pressure. ANH also inhibits renin, ADH , and the action of angiotensin II on the adrenal glands, thereby suppressing aldosterone secretion. ANH also causes Vasodilation.


Is the hormone responsible for increased sodium reabsorption?

anti diuretic hormone


Which hormone aids in sodium conservation and potassium excretion?
