Answer:
The correct answer is aldosterone
Explanation:
- Aldosterone is a corticosteroid hormone
- It stimulates the absorption of sodium by the kidney
- In this way, it helps to control the salt and ionic balance
- Aldosterone is secreted by the adrenal glands in the zona glomerulosa
- the absorption of sodium by the kidney by aldosterone also leads to an increase in the glomerular filtration rate as well as the blood pressure
Aldosterone acts mainly at the renal tubules and stimulates the reabsorption of Na+ and water and the excretion of K+ and phosphate ions.
