Question

When the ecf loses fluids, the kidneys and baroreceptors are stimulated to send signals to the endocrine system and certain effectors. the endocrine system releases renin, which activates angiotensin ii. what hormone is released in response to angiotensin ii activation? anp bnp aldosterone adh?

Answer 1

The correct option is ALDOSTERONE.
Angiotensin ll is one of the most potent sodium retaining hormones. It regulates aldosterone release from the adrenal cortex. The aldosterone hormone stimulates sodium re-absorption through mineralocorticoid receptors in the connecting and cortical segments of the collecting tubules.
