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

Identify what aldosterone regulates, and explain how it is stimulated. a. Aldosterone regulates the amount of water excreted by the kidneys and causes direct water reabsorption from the kidney tubules. It is stimulated by decreased water concentration in blood, or increased amounts of blood potassium. b. Aldosterone regulates sodium concentrations in urine, sweat, the pancreas, and saliva. It is stimulated by decreased blood sodium ion concentrations, blood volume, or blood pressure, or increased amounts of blood potassium. c. Aldosterone regulates calcium concentrations in urine, saliva and the pancreas. It is stimulated by decreased blood calcium ion concentrations, blood pressure, blood volume, or increased amounts of blood potassium. d. Aldosterone regulates blood glucose levels by stimulating the breakdown of glycogen to glucose. It is stimulated by decreased concentrations of glucose levels in blood, blood volume, or blood pressure.
