Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Aldosterone causes sodium to be absorbed and potassium to be excreted into the lumen by principal cells. In alpha intercalated cells, located in the late distal tubule and collecting duct, hydrogen ions and potassium ions are exchanged. Hydrogen is excreted into the lumen, and the potassium is absorbed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Aldosterone and ADH secretion increased following dehydration. It is suggested that the ADH. besides its water reabsorptive functions in the kidney, initiates aldosterone secretion. The aldosterone then works primarily on the colon causing absorption of salt and water.
