Increased ADH secretion could be stimulated by which of the following situations?
A)increased renal blood flow
B)increased blood osmolality
C)increased atrial natriuretic hormone production
D)increased blood pressure
E)decreased blood osmolality

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increased blood osmolality, detected by osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus, is the primary stimulus for ADH secretion, leading to increased water reabsorption in the kidney and decreased urine output. The other options would not stimulate ADH secretion. Increased renal blood flow would inhibit ADH secretion, increased ANP production would also inhibit ADH secretion, increased blood pressure would not affect ADH secretion, and decreased blood osmolality would inhibit ADH secretion.
