Question

what hormones regulate the distal convoluted tubule?
progesterone and estrogen
aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone (adh).
aldosterone and fsh
insulin and growth hormone
renin and antidiuretic hormone

Explanation:

• Progesterone and estrogen are mainly related to female reproductive functions.
• FSH (follicle - stimulating hormone) is involved in reproductive processes (e.g., in the ovaries and testes).
• Insulin is for glucose metabolism, and growth hormone is for growth and development of the body.
• Renin is an enzyme that starts the renin - angiotensin - aldosterone system, but it is not a hormone that directly regulates the distal convoluted tubule in the same way as aldosterone and ADH.
• Aldosterone acts on the distal convoluted tubule to increase the reabsorption of sodium and the excretion of potassium.
• Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) acts on the distal convoluted tubule (and collecting duct) to increase water reabsorption.

Answer:

Aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone (ADH).
