3. A 45-year-old woman was admitted to hospital because of frequent headaches,muscle weakness, increased thirst. Increased blood pressure, impaired bloodelectrolyte composition and significantly reduced renin levels were determinedduring the examination. A hormone-producing tumor in the right adrenal glandwas detected during a computed tomography scan, allowing to diagnose primaryhyperaldosteronism (Conn's syndrome). What are the causes of hypertension inthis patient? For answer:a) list the biological functions of the main adrenal cortex hormones, name theprecursor for their synthesis;b) name the main mineralocorticoid, the site of its synthesis and the target cell;

Hormones can be defined as any natural substance that acts as a chemical messenger in the body. They…
