Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ADH (antidiuretic hormone) and aldosterone are two different hormones with separate mechanisms and functions. ADH regulates water balance by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys, while aldosterone regulates sodium balance by increasing sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion in the kidneys. ADH release is not the main stimulus for the secretion of aldosterone. The main stimulus for the secretion of aldosterone is the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which is activated by low blood pressure or low blood sodium levels.
