Solve this:

Q Destruction of outermost layer of adrenal cortex by disease such
as tuberculoses will lead to decreased concentration on which of
the following in blood ?

1) Ammonium ions
2) Sodium salts
3) Calcium salts
4) Potassium salts

Komal Shivnani · Accepted Answer

Dear student,
The correct answer is 2
The outermost layer of the adrenal cortex is Zona
Glomerulosa which produces aldosterone Aldosterone is a
mineralocorticoid which acts on the DCT and collecting ducts of
nephrons in kidney and helps in the reabsorption of sodium ions
back to the blood Thus, if the outermost layer of the adrenal
cortex is destroyed by diseases like tuberculosis, it will lead to
the decreased concentration of sodium salts in the blood
