Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aldosterone is a hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex that increases the reabsorption of sodium ions and water by the kidneys. This leads to an increase in blood volume and blood pressure. Epinephrine and ADH can also contribute to raising blood pressure, but their mechanisms do not involve the renal reabsorption of sodium and water to the extent that aldosterone does. ANP, on the other hand, has the opposite effect and decreases blood pressure by promoting the excretion of sodium and water by the kidneys.
