Hypersecretion of________ results in increased urinary output and dehydration.
A)adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
B)atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)
C)antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
D)mineralocorticoids

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hypersecretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) actually leads to decreased urinary output and fluid retention, not increased urinary output. Therefore, the correct answer should reflect the opposite condition, which is a lack of ADH leading to increased urinary output and dehydration. However, given the options and the phrasing of the question, it seems there might be a misunderstanding in the question's setup, as none of the options directly cause increased urinary output and dehydration through hypersecretion. Typically, a deficiency in ADH, known as diabetes insipidus, causes increased urinary output and dehydration.
