| 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 |
