Assertion :- Angiotensin II, activates the adrenall cortex to release aldosterone. Reason :- Aldosterone causes reabsorption of Na^(o+) and water from the distal parts of the tubule.

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

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.

Assertion. Oxytocin is also called antidiuretic hormone Reason. Oxytocin increases renal reabsorption of water.

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

Assertion :- Aldosterone is known as salt retaining hormone. Reason:- It reduces Na reabsorption from urine to increase its loss from the body.

[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.
