Impulses from the subfornical organ stimulates the release of ADH.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The subfornical organ, located in the brain near the third ventricle, is involved in thirst and water balance regulation. It detects changes in the concentration of certain substances in the blood, such as sodium and osmolality, and sends signals to other brain regions involved in regulating fluid balance. One of these signals is the stimulation of vasopressin (also known as antidiuretic hormone or ADH) release from the posterior pituitary gland, which helps the body conserve water by reducing urine output. Therefore, impulses from the subfornical organ do indeed stimulate the release of ADH, making option A correct.
