The Control of Aldosterone Release by the Kidney Begins With

Question

The control of aldosterone release by the kidney begins with A) Secretion of ADH B) Secretion of angiotensin I C) Secretion of ACE D) Secretion of K⁺ E) Secretion of renin

Accepted Answer

The control of aldosterone release begins with the secretion of renin by the kidney. Renin initiates a cascade that ultimately leads to the production of angiotensin II, which stimulates the adrenal cortex to release aldosterone.
