Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is responsible for regulating blood osmolarity by retaining water in the body when blood osmolarity is too high, which can happen after ingesting a salty meal. This helps maintain proper hydration and prevent dehydration. Aldosterone regulates sodium and potassium levels, but not blood osmolarity specifically. ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide), renin, and angiotensin are involved in regulating blood pressure and fluid balance, but not specifically blood osmolarity.
