Aldosterone production is greatly influenced by ACTH. It is secreted by the adrenal cortex. Its function is to increase sodium reabsorption. Its presence increases potassium concentration in the blood.
What is the function of aldosterone? signals the kidneys to retain sodium and chloride stimulates the kidneys to filter out more water (increasing urine output) stimulates the kidneys to reabsorb water (reducing urine output) signals the kidneys to release sodium and chloride Question 29 What is the function of ADH? stimulates the kidneys to filter out more water (increasing urine output) signals the kidneys to retain sodium and chloride stimulates the kidneys to reabsorb water (reducing urine output) signals the kidneys to release sodium and chloride
