22
Q

aldosterone is produced by the

A

adrenal glands

23
Q

aldosterone is a steroid hormone that acts on the _____ to increase the reabsorption of sodium and excretion of potassium

A

kidneys

24
Q

a significant decrease in blood volume or pressure will stimulate the secretion of

A

ADH

25
Q

ADH acts on the kidneys to do what

A

increase reabsorption of water

26
Q

ANP is secreted by the ____

A

heart muscle cells

27
Q

why is ANP secreted

A

in response to high blood volume

28
Q

what does ANP do

A

increases the glomerular filtration rate

29
Q

what happens when the glomerular filtration rate is increased
