Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The secondary function of the DCT to reabsorb sodium is controlled by the hormone aldosterone. ADH does not directly control the reabsorption of sodium in the DCT, although it does impact water reabsorption in the collecting ducts. Renin and cortisol do not directly impact sodium reabsorption in the DCT. While ADH and aldosterone can work together to regulate overall fluid balance, aldosterone alone is responsible for the reabsorption of sodium in the DCT.
