Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When Adam forgets his water bottle and goes for a long run, he will be losing water through sweating. In response, the body releases antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which signals the kidneys to reabsorb water from the urine back into the bloodstream, reducing the amount of water lost in the urine. This helps to maintain the body's fluid balance. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect as the pituitary gland does not directly signal the liver to conserve energy. Option B is wrong because ADH reduces the amount of water lost in the urine. Additionally, it is unlikely that the antidiuretic hormone would signal the kidneys to reabsorb water, hence raise urine output. Option D is incorrect because Adam's thirst mechanism will not become impaired after a single episode of dehydration.
