Question

Which of the following glands is concerned with salt equilibrium in body?

• A. Anterior pituitary
• B. Pancreas
• C. Adrenal
• D. Thyroid

Answer 1

The correct option is C Adrenal

The adrenal glands are endocrine glands that produce a variety of hormones including adrenaline and the steroids aldosterone and cortisol. Adrenal glands are concerned with salt equilibrium in the body.

Mineralocorticoids produced in zona glomerulosa secreted from the adrenal cortex. Aldosterone is the main mineralocorticoid in our body. Aldosterone acts mainly at the renal tubules and stimulates re-absorption of $N{a}^{+}$ and water and excretion of $K^{+}$ and phosphate ions. Hence, option C is correct.
