Aldosterone:
1. acts mainly at the renal tubules and stimulates the excretion of Na+ and water and reabsorption of K+ and phosphate ions.
2. acts mainly at the renal tubules and stimulates the reabsorption of Na+ and water and excretion of K+ and phosphate ions.
3. acts mainly at the collecting duct and stimulates the excretion of Na+ and water and reabsorption of K+ and phosphate ions.
