..... activates the adrenal cortex to release aldosterone .

Which of the following activates the adrenal cortex to release aldosterone ?

Assertion :- Angiotensin II is a powerful vasconstrictor Reason :- Aldosterone causes reabsorption of Na^(+) and water from distal parts of the tubule.

Water reabsorption in the distal parts of kidney tubules is regulated by

[A] : The hormone aldosterone is secreted by adrenal cortex after the low Na^+ content in blood and the resultant low BP causes the kidney to release renin. [R]: Renin in blood leads to the formation of angiotensin II which causes adrenel cortex to release aldosterone that causes kidney to re- tain Na^+ and, therefore, water is reabsorbed and BP rises.

Reabsorption of water from distal parts of the tubules is facilitated by hormone____________.

Assertion:Aldosterone is polypeptide hormone and control the Na^(+) & K^(+) ratio in body. Reason:- Aldosterone increase reabsorption of Na^(+) from plasma of blood and control its loss and increase loss of K^(+) in body fluid.

How does aldosterone from the adrenal cortex regulate reabsorption of sodium to maintain homeostasis ?

Assertion: Angiotensin II increases the glomerular blood pressure thereby GFR. Reason: Angiotensin II activates the JG cells to release renin.
