This Adrenal Cortical Mineralocorticoid Helps Regulate Salt and Water Balance

Question

This adrenal cortical mineralocorticoid helps regulate salt and water balance.
A) Aldosterone
B) Glucagon
C) Cortisol
D) ADH

Accepted Answer

Aldosterone is the adrenal cortical mineralocorticoid that works to regulate the balance of salt and water in the body. Glucagon is a hormone produced by the pancreas that increases blood sugar levels. Cortisol is another hormone produced by the adrenal cortex that helps regulate metabolism and the body's response to stress. ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is produced by the hypothalamus and controls water balance by regulating how much water the kidneys excrete.
