Which of these will NOT be a consequence of decreased secretion of aldosterone?

B)lower blood volume
C)more sodium ions in the urine
D)fewer sodium ions in the urine

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aldosterone promotes sodium retention in the kidneys, which helps to conserve water, thereby reducing urinary output and maintaining blood volume. If aldosterone secretion decreases, the body will lose more sodium through urine (increasing sodium ions in the urine), leading to increased urinary output and lower blood volume. Therefore, fewer sodium ions in the urine would not be a consequence of decreased aldosterone secretion.
