Aldosterone is the hormone that is secreted by the adrenal cortex and promotes the retention of salt which then helps the body to retain more water. This is important for maintaining blood pressure in the body which is essential for proper kidney function.

Which hormone maintains the correct balance of salt in blood?
Adrenal gland hormones Aldosterone and Corticosteroid regulates salts in the circulatory system.
Which hormone in the adrenal gland control water and electolyte balance?
The hormone aldosterone helps maintain salt balance which is an ingredient in electrolyte. It does this by telling the kidneys to retain salt which then also then retains more water in the body.
What does the hormone aldosterone regulate?
Sodium and Potassium.
How does the excretory system help in homeostasis?
Excretory system is one of the main organ for haemostasis. It regulates the water balance, pH balance, salt balance. It regulates the blood pressure. It regulates the haemopoiesis. It produce active form of vitamin D. Vitamin D is responsible for calcium metabolism.
What is the hormone that is important in regulation of sodium water balance?
Aldosterone is the hormone produced by the adrenal gland which is responsible for salt (sodium) regulation of the body.
Which hormone is the salt and water losing hormone?
Atrial natriuretic hormone
Prolactin stimulates mammary gland growth and development in mammals and regulates salt and water balance in freshwater fish Many scientists believe that this wide range of functions indicates that?
It's varied roles suggest that it is an ancient hormone with functions that have diversified during the evolution of vertebrate groups.
Which hormones maintain salt and water balance in the extracellular fluid?
Aldosterone (a mineralocorticoid) regulates water and electrolyte (salt) balance in the extracellular fluid, mainly by regulating sodium ion reabsorption by kidney tubules. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) causes the distal and collecting tubules of the kidney to reabsorb more water from the urinary filtrate, thereby reducing urine output and conserving body water.
Are the effects of aldosterone and adh similar or antagonistic?
the effects are similar. Both hormones are Na+/H2O regulators in the kidneys, they just perform this function in different ways. ADH contros the H2O in our bodies and how much is released while aldosterone is in control of what is reabsorded.
How does the urinary maintain homeostasis?
The urinary system supports the kidneys. The kidneys are the organ of homeostasis. The kidneys send unnecessary fluid containing toxins to the bladder for storage. When an ample amount has accumulated, the urinary system will expel it in the form of urine.
What are the effects of ADH on water balance in the blood?
ADH is also known as antidiuretic hormone and it tells the kidneys to reabsorb more water from the filtrate so it produces less urine. The effect on the body is to retain water which will them raise the blood pressure.
What regulates the fluid and electrolyte balance?
The kidneys are the principle organ for maintaining salt and water balance. One of the functions of the kidneys is to control the water and salt balance in the body. That is why it is referred to as the main organ of homeostasis.
