1. Aldosterone is produced by
cells in the cortex of the kidney.
2. Aldosterone causes the reabsorption of sodium from the
filtrate.
3. Aldosterone causes water to be secreted from these peritubular
capillaries into the filtrate of the nephron.
4. Generally speaking, if sodium is reabsorbed,
then water will also be reabsorbed.
5. High levels of aldosterone will lead to high blood pressure
because of an increase in water reabsorption.
6. ADH is released by the posterior lobe to the pituitary
gland - an endocrine gland located in your head.
7. ADH targets the loop of the nephron .. to
reabsorb water.
8. A diuretic is anything that causes you to reabsorb water.

ADH.
