Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aldosterone is secreted by the adrenal cortex and increases salt reabsorption in the kidneys.

Answer: G
 Cortisol is another hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex, but it is mainly involved in the regulation of metabolism, immune response, and the response to stress.

Answer: D
 Androgen is a male sex hormone produced by the testes, but it is also produced in lower amounts by the adrenal cortex in both males and females.

Answer: H
 Estradiol is a female sex hormone produced by the ovaries, but it is also produced in smaller amounts by the adrenal cortex in both males and females.

Note: The remaining hormones (A, B, E, F, and J) are not related to the adrenal cortex or salt reabsorption.
