Chapter 44.5, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction

To identify: The major symptom of the disorder in Conn’s syndrome, leading to an increase in the production of the aldosterone from the adrenal gland.

Concept introduction: The constriction of the blood capillaries is caused by the angiotensin hormone. It causes the increase in the blood pressure inside the vessels. The adrenal gland releases the aldosterone by the action of the hormone angiotenin II. The release of the hormone aldosterone causes the reabsorption of the sodium ions and water in the collecting duct.
