Hey i was reading my notes and I'm not really getting these two hormones they seem to have the same effect
What i got:
Alsosterone comes from the adrenal cortex
- increaes reabsorbtion of sodium ions
- leads to increases reabsorption of water
Vasopressin/ADH produced by hypothalamus stored in pituary gland
- makes walls of tubules thinner causing increased water reabsorption
* now I'm guessing this would also increases salt reabsorption too because of rules of diffusion
so don't they both end up with the same result. i'm a bit confused as to in what situations the body would releases aldosterone or vasopressin.
Any help appreciated thankyou
