Question
Chapter 40, Problem 11SQ
Summary Introduction
Concept introduction: Hormone is important to regulate the urine’s concentration and its composition. A hormone called aldosterone secreted by the adrenal cortex increases the sodium reabsorption. It helps in the formation of concentrate urine. This is an adaption to the animals living in hot places to conserve water and minimize loss.
