Answer:
The hormone that acts as a check on the renin-angiotensin mechanism is aldosterone.
Explanation:
- Aldosterone is the hormone released by the adrenal cortex of the adrenal gland.
- It is an important mineralocorticoid steroid hormone.
- Renin-angiotensin mechanism regulates blood pressure with the help of aldosterone.
- It is also important for maintaining fluid balance and Na-K (sodium-potassium) ion balance in the body.
- Aldosterone increases the reabsorption of salts and water from the kidney, hence helping in maintaining the fluid balance and regulating blood pressure.
