Solutions
What does aldosterone do Correct Answer - maintains
extracellular fluid, stimulated by angiotensin 2, low sodium or high
potassium
What does ADH do Correct Answer - retains water, elevated
level of ADH are caused by dehydration, low fluid volume, low blood
pressure
When released the kidneys absorb more urine but less urine is
produces
What levels rise/decrease in circadian rhythms Correct Answer -
cortisol rises during the day, decreases at night
Growth hormone and TSH peak during sleep meaning we grow
during sleep
What does cortisol do Correct Answer - stress hormone

what does the anterior pituitary do Correct Answer - releases
GH, TH, ACTH, FSH, prolactin
what does TSH do Correct Answer - acts on the thyroid,
