How does angiotension 2 affect kidney?
Angiotensin II affects the kidney in various ways: 1) it stimulates the secretion of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex which causes the tubules of the kidneys to increase reabsorption of sodium(Na) and water into the blood increasing the volume of fluid in the body. This can be very useful in cases of hypovolemia(low blood volume). 2) it acts as a vasoconstrictor, thereby increasing test and blood pressure. 3) it stimulates the secretion of anti-diuretic hormone, also called vasopressin which stimulates the reabsorption of water in the kidneys and also acts as a vasoconstrictor. 4)it increases renal hypertrophy in renal tubule cell leading to an increase in Na intake.
What stimulates the secretion of estrogen?
Oestrogen stimulates the hormone LH. LH is secreted in pituitary gland and stimulates the release of an egg
What is the name of the hormone that promotes sodium retention and potassium secretion?
Aldosterone is the hormone responsible for promoting sodium retention and potassium secretion in the kidneys. It helps regulate blood pressure and electrolyte balance in the body.
Which hormone plays a central role in determining the rate of sodium reabsorption and potassium secretion?
Aldosterone is the hormone that plays a central role in determining the rate of sodium reabsorption and potassium secretion in the kidneys. Aldosterone acts on the distal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts of the kidney to increase sodium reabsorption and potassium secretion.
