Question:
Aldosterone, a steroid hormone, is released to control extracellular volume. Which circulating molecule causes the release of the hormone?
A. ADH
B. angiotensinogen
C. ANF
D. A-II
E. None of the above is correct.
Aldosterone
Aldosterone is a hormone released by the adrenal glands, located above the kidneys. It functions to increase the amount of sodium reabsorbed into the body, and as a result causes an increase in water reabsorption as well.
