Consider this situation: you want to reabsorb sodium ions but you do not want to increase the volume of the blood by reabsorbing
large amounts of water from the filtrate. Assuming that aldosterone and ADH are both present, how would you adjust the hormones to accomplish the task?Consider this situation: you want to reabsorb sodium ions but you do not want to increase the volume of the blood by reabsorbing large amounts of water from the filtrate.

Aldosterone causes reabsorption of sodium ions while Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) causes reabsorption of water. Aldosterone also causes water reabsorption due to increased osmotic pressure by reabsorbing sodium ions. But for water reabsorption, Aldosterone has to work along with ADH to increase permeability for water. If we increase Aldosterone and decrease ADH, the sodium ions will be reabsorbed while water cannot be reabsorbed due to decreased permeability of DCT and collecting tubules for water.
The ventricles of the heart have thicker muscular walls than the atria. This is because blood is pumped out of the heart at greater pressure from these chambers compared to the atria.
