Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Identify the statement that correctly describes what happens when there is too little water in the blood.
A
Low solute concentration of blood plasma results in more ADH hormone therefore less water reabsorbed by the nephrons
B
Low solute concentration of blood plasma results in less ADH hormone therefore less water reabsorbed by the nephrons
C
High solute concentration of blood plasma results in more ADH hormone therefore more water reabsorbed by the nephrons
D
High solute concentration of blood plasma results in less ADH hormone therefore more water absorbed by the nephrons
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As a result, the reabsorption of water from the glomerular filtrate is increased. When someone drinks lots of water, requirement of absorption of water decreases, so ADH release is suppressed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The true statement about the role of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) in regulating kidney function is C. ADH promotes the insertion of water channels into the collecting duct. The action of ADH is dependent on reabsorption of water into the system so that balance of water can be maintained.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anti-diuretic hormone acts to maintain blood pressure, blood volume and tissue water content by controlling the amount of water and hence the concentration of urine excreted by the kidney.

Detailed explanation-4: -ADH is released by the pituitary gland when the blood is too concentrated and it causes the kidney tubules to become more permeable . This allows more water to be reabsorbed back into the blood during selective reabsorption.
