One difference between an MA and MS degree that some students donât think of is whether the degree is a terminal one. A terminal degree is the highest type of degree that an individual can receive in his or her field. An MA is usually a terminal degree, while an MS degree prepares students for working on their doctoral degrees later.
Aldosterone secretion is controlled by the RAA system and by concentrations of K+ in the circulation, which if increased evokes secretion of aldosterone.
Aldosterone release is stimulated by a decrease in blood sodium levels, blood volume, or blood pressure, or an increase in blood potassium levels. It also prevents the loss of Na+ from sweat, saliva, and gastric juice. The reabsorption of Na+ also results in the osmotic reabsorption of water, which alters blood volume and blood pressure. Aldosterone production can be stimulated by low blood pressure, which triggers a sequence of chemical release .
