Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Aldosterone signals certain organs, like your kidneys and colon, to increase the amount of sodium they send into your bloodstream or the amount of potassium released in your urine (pee). Aldosterone’s effect on sodium increase causes your body to retain water in your blood, which increases blood volume.
Detailed explanation-2: -13) When aldosterone release is inhibited, sodium reabsorption cannot occur beyond the distal convoluted tubule. 14) Aldosterone stimulates the reabsorption of sodium while enhancing potassium secretion. 15) Some potassium ions are reabsorbed from the kidney filtrate via type A intercalated cells.
