Indicate whether the factor in question would ultimately lead to an increase, or a decrease in Na⁺ reabsorption by means of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone mechanism.
-a reduction in ECF volume

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A reduction in ECF volume triggers the release of renin, which ultimately leads to an increase in angiotensin II and aldosterone production. Both of these hormones stimulate Na⁺ reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to an increase in overall reabsorption.
