Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aldosterone secretion is stimulated by angiotensin II, which is produced in response to low blood pressure or low blood volume. It is primarily secreted by the adrenal glands, not the kidney. Cl ^- (chloride concentration in the urine) is not a known factor in the regulation of aldosterone secretion. The macula densa is involved in regulating renin secretion, not aldosterone.
