3 Low blood volume (Atrial stretch receptors)

20
Q

Aldosterone acts on the _____________ cells of the distal tubule and collecting duct, which results in an increase of sodium reabsorption.

A

Principal (Na+)

21
Q

Hyperkalemia is HIGH ____ in the plasma.

A

[K+]

22
Q

Aldosterone is triggered by the ______ and the _____.

A

⬆️[K+]

⬇️BP

23
Q
