Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What effect does aldosterone have on the kidneys?
  • Step 1: Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands.
  • Step 2: When aldosterone reaches the kidneys, it binds to specific receptors in the kidney cells.
  • Step 3: This binding signals the kidneys to reabsorb more sodium from the urine back into the blood.
  • Step 4: As sodium is reabsorbed, water follows it due to osmosis, leading to more water being retained in the body.
  • Step 5: The increased amount of sodium and water in the blood raises blood volume.
  • Step 6: Higher blood volume results in increased blood pressure.
