Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ADH increases water permeability and reabsorption in the last segment of the distal tubule and along the entire length of the collecting ducts.
ANP inhibits secretion of renin,inhibits angiotensin-induced secretion of aldosterone,relaxes vascular smooth muscle,and inhibits sodium and water absorption by kidney tubules.
Renin is secreted to raise blood pressure.
Aldosterone regulates water and sodium balance.
