What else can I help you with?
What triggers the release of aldosterone?
angiotensin
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.
The main hormone that acts on the kidneys to regulate sodium ion concentration of the extracellular fluid is?
Aldosterone is the main hormone that acts on the kidneys to regulate sodium ion concentration of the extracellular fluid. Aldosterone promotes the reabsorption of sodium ions and water in the kidneys, which helps to maintain blood pressure and electrolyte balance in the body.
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
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.
Which hormons used to promote Na reabsorption by kidneys?
aldosterone, antidiuretic hormone (ADH, or vasopressin), atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), and other hormones.The three hormones responsible for regulating renal sodium and chloride ion reabsorption are;1. Aldosterone2. Atrial natriuretic peptide or ANP3. Angiotensin II
Which two molecules make the kidneys retain sodium?
Aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) are the two molecules that play a role in causing the kidneys to retain sodium. Aldosterone acts on the distal tubules and collecting ducts in the kidneys to increase sodium reabsorption, while ADH acts on the kidneys to increase water reabsorption, indirectly leading to sodium retention.
What structure produces aldosterone?
The adrenal cortex, where aldosterone is produced, is part of the adrenal gland.
