Hint
Ask which hormone acts directly on the tubular epithelium of the distal nephron to change how potassium is handled, and think about the endocrine gland that makes it.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
