Question

Salt excretion is regulated by hormones, mainly _______.
A) ADH
B) aldosterone
C) angiotensin II
D) progesterone

Accepted Answer

Salt excretion is mainly regulated by aldosterone, a hormone produced in the adrenal glands. ADH (antidiuretic hormone) regulates water reabsorption in the kidneys, while angiotensin II is involved in regulating blood pressure and volume. Progesterone is not directly involved in regulating salt excretion.
