Aldosterone stimulates the reabsorption of Na⁺ and secretion of K⁺ in the A)distal convoluted tubules. B)proximal convoluted tubules. C)proximal and distal convoluted tubules. D)nephron loops.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aldosterone primarily acts on the distal convoluted tubules and the collecting ducts of the nephrons to stimulate the reabsorption of sodium ions and the secretion of potassium ions. It does not have a significant effect on the proximal convoluted tubules or the nephron loops.
