Chapter 44.5, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction

To identify: The major symptom of the disorder in Conn’s syndrome, leading to an increase in the production of the aldosterone from the adrenal gland.

Concept introduction: The constriction of the blood capillaries is caused by the angiotensin hormone. It causes the increase in the blood pressure inside the vessels. The adrenal gland releases the aldosterone by the action of the hormone angiotenin II. The release of the hormone aldosterone causes the reabsorption of the sodium ions and water in the collecting duct.

. Lipid-soluble signaling molecules, such as aldosterone,cross the membranes of all cells but affect only target cellsbecause(A) only target cells retain the appropriate DNA segments.(B) intracellular receptors are present only in target cells.(C) only target cells have enzymes that break downaldosterone.(D) only in target cells is aldosterone able to initiate thephosphorylation cascade that turns genes on
6. Increasing the aldosterone secretion during prolonged muscle activity in hot weather allows you to compensate for the sodium loss in sweat and remove the accumulated excess of potassium. Explain these biological effects of the hormone during exercise. For answer: a) draw the structure of the hormone, name the precursor for its synthesis, site of synthesis, signals for secretion, target cells; b) draw a diagram of the hormonal signal transduction starting with hormone interaction with the cell receptor;
