Answer:
The correct answer is A. Effectively, aldosterone is synthesized from cholesterol.
Explanation:
Aldosterone is a steroid hormone from the mineralocorticoid family, synthesized in the glomerular area of the adrenal cortex of the adrenal gland. It acts in the conservation of sodium, in the secretion of potassium and in the increase of blood pressure. Its secretion is decreased in Addison's disease and increased in Conn's syndrome. Aldosterone, as well as all steroid hormones, is synthesized from cholesterol.
Answer:
troposphere
Explanation:
The troposphere is the temperature zone of the atmosphere where most precipitation occurs. It has a normal temperature of 0 degrees Celsius. This layer is where the majority of weather events take place. It is 10–15 kilometers thick above the Earth's surface.
Answer:
Afferent arteriole
Explanation:
A glomerulus is formed from the afferent blood vessels, a branch from the renal artery. The afferent arteriole collects blood from the glomerulus and extends to the renal tubule where it divides into capillaries that ramify the tubule. The afferent arteriole is wider than the efferent arteriole.
