Aldosterone secretion is regulated by: A. renin secretion by the kidney resulting in the formation of angiotensin II that directly causes aldosterone release B. direct humoral stimulation of adrenal cortex cells by potassium ions C. ACTH during conditions of severe stress D. Atrial natriuretic pepside causing inhibition of aldosterone effects E. All of these are correct

Explain the role each of the following hormones play during formation. Specify the target location of each of the hormones:     ADH       Aldosterone  ANP       PTH

Syndrome of Inappropriate ADH secretion (SIADH) results when there is an excess of ADH secretion despite normal or increased blood plasma volume. The result is impaired water excretion and low levels of sodium in the blood.The hormone that would be released in response to low levels of sodium ions in the blood is Select one: a. glucagon b. calcitonin c. thyroxine d. aldosterone

Which of the following regarding aldosterone is false? the process leading to its release begin with the release of renin it initiates increased placement of Na+/K pumps its target cells are located in the Loop of Henle O it increases the Na+ gradient between the filtrate and the ECF
