Question | Answer |
---|---|
Aldosterone TRIGGERED BY: | Angiotensin II |
Aldosterone SECRETED BY: | Adrenal Cortex |
Aldosterone TARGET: | Kidneys (Distal convoluted tubule & collecting duct) |
Aldosterone FUNCTION: | Increase salt reabsorption of distal convoluted tubule & collecting duct |
ANP TRIGGERD BY: | When the heart stretches due to elevated blood pressure |
ANP SECRETED BY: | Heart |
ANP TARGET: | Kidneys |
ANP FUNCTION: | Decrease water & salt reabsorption |
Angiotensin I SECRETED BY: | Liver |
CONVERTS Angiotensin I --> Angiotensin II: | Renin |
Angiotensin II TARGETS: | 1) Posterior Pituitary Gland --> release ADH; 2) Adrenal Cortex --> release Aldosterone |
ADH TRIGGERED BY: | Angiotensin II |
ADH SECRETED BY: | Posterior Pituitary Gland |
ADH TARGET: | Kidneys |
ADH FUNCTION: | Increase water reabsorption at distal convoluted tubule & collecting duct |
