The normal pulse rate for humans is usually 60 to 100 beats per minute, however, there are certain medical conditions such as cardiac arrhythmia which may alter the normal pulse rate of an individual. Other influencing factors include your age, gender and fitness level.
Aldosterone is a hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex, and insulin is a peptide secreted by the pancreas. When aldosterone contacts a target cell, it binds to an intracellular receptor and migrates to the nucleus; insulin binds to extracellular receptors on the plasma membrane. What is the most likely reason for this difference? a. Aldosterone is hydrophilic and therefore must enter the aqueous environment of the cytoplasm to have an effect. b. Aldosterone is lipid-soluble and therefore easily crosses the phospholipid bilayer of the plasma membrane.
Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands located just above each kidney. Aldosterone helps to control the amount of fluid in the body by affecting how much salt and water the kidney retains or excretes.The adrenal glands produce aldosterone in response to another hormone called renin.Renin is produced by specialised cells in the kidney that detect when the body is dehydrated; renin released by the kidney signals the adrenal glands to release aldosterone.ldosterone helps to control the amount of fluid in the body by affecting how much salt and water the kidney retains or excretes.
