Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aldosterone is a hormone released by the adrenal glands that regulates the reabsorption of sodium by the distal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts. It acts on the cells of the renal tubules to increase the expression of sodium-potassium pumps, which increases the reabsorption of sodium ions from the urine into the bloodstream. This leads to increased water reabsorption and retention in the body, which can increase blood pressure.
