Aldosterone:

Question

Aldosterone: (A) is the major mineralocorticoid hormone secreted by the kidney (B) promotes the secretion of Na+ in the late distal convoluted tubule and the cortical region of the collecting duct (C) stimulates the secretion of K+ from the peritubular blood into the distal convoluted tubule (D) is a protein hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Correct answer is (c) stimulates the secretion of K+ from the peritubular blood into the distal convoluted tubule

Q. Aldosterone:

is the major mineralocorticoid hormone secreted by the kidney

promotes the secretion of $N a^{+}$ in the late distal convoluted tubule and the cortical region of the collecting duct

stimulates the secretion of $K^{+}$ from the peritubular blood into the distal convoluted tubule

is a protein hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex

Correct answer is (c) stimulates the secretion of $K^{+}$ from the peritubular blood into the distal convoluted tubule
