Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If you do not drink enough water, which hormone will the hypothalamus produce to regulate urine production?
A
rennin
B
ADH
C
ANH
D
aldosterone
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Secretion of anti-diuretic hormone also occurs if the concentration of salts in the bloodstream increases, for example as a result of not drinking enough water on a hot day. This is detected by special nerve cells in the hypothalamus (osmoreceptors) which simulate anti-diuretic hormone release from the pituitary. .

Detailed explanation-2: -Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is a chemical produced in the brain that causes the kidneys to release less water, decreasing the amount of urine produced. A high ADH level causes the body to produce less urine. A low level results in greater urine production.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
