Answer 2

Answer:

Mineralocorticoids :

• (1) Mineralocorticoids are a class of corticosteroids, which in turn are a class of steroid hormones. Mineralocorticoids are produced in the adrenal cortex and influence salt and water balances (electrolyte balance and fluid balance).
• (2) The mineralocorticoids regulate ionic and osmotic balance, by regulating the amounts of electrolyte and water.
• (3) Aldosterone is the main mineralocorticoid that acts on the renal tubules.
• (4) Aldosterone stimulates the re-absorption of Na^+ and water and excretion of K^+ and phosphate ions.
• (5) The aldosterone helps in the maintenance of electrolytes, body fluid volume, osmotic pressure and blood pressure.
