Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Angiotensin II causes vasoconstriction and the secretion of the hormone aldosterone. ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is mainly responsible for water retention in the kidneys and is regulated by the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland. Aldosterone, on the other hand, acts on the kidneys to increase reabsorption of sodium, leading to water retention, and also promotes excretion of potassium.
