Question

Help me with this! Number 2

on
Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) is also known a
vasopressin - why?
Select one:
O a.
in low concentrations ADH also acts
to increase water loss via the kidneys
O b. in high concentration ADH acts as a
vasoconstrictor, and thus boosts
blood pressure
O c.
the original statement is incorrect:
angiotensin is also known as
vasopressin, and in high
concentrations angiotensin causes
vasodilation
O d. in low concentrations ADH
O e.
stimulates release of renin, and thus
causes a drop in blood pressure
in high concentrations ADH inhibits
red blood cells production, Od thus
reduces blood pressure

Expert Solution

Step 1

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is synthesized by neuronal cell bodies of the hypothalamus and secreted in the posterior pituitary gland. ADH targets the kidney cells and triggers the absorption of more water and the production of less volume of urine to reduce the fluid loss from the body. It is mainly secreted when the blood osmolarity rises and blod volume is reduced.
