When Stimulated by Aldosterone, the Reabsorption of Na⁺ is Increased

Question

When stimulated by aldosterone, the reabsorption of Na⁺ is increased along
A) the loop of Henle.
B) the collecting duct.
C) Bowman's capsule.
D) the proximal tubule.
E) the distal tubule.

Accepted Answer

Aldosterone stimulates the reabsorption of sodium ions in the distal tubule of the nephron. This helps to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. The other options listed (loop of Henle, collecting duct, Bowman's capsule, and proximal tubule) are not directly affected by aldosterone stimulation.
