Diuresis is prevented by:
Options
- ARenin from JG cell via switching off the osmoreceptors
- BANF from atria of the heart
- CAldosterone from adrenal medulla
- DVasopressin from Neurohypophysis
Correct answer
D. Vasopressin from Neurohypophysis
Step-by-step solution
The correct answer is option (4) because, - Diuresis is prevented by vasopressin or anti-diuretic hormone from neurohypophysis or posterior pituitary. When there is excessive loss of fluid from the body the secretion of, ADH facilitates water reabsorption from latter part of renal tubules. - Option (1) is incorrect because renin from JG cells convert angiotensinogen in blood to angiotensin I and further to angiotensin II; which is a powerful vasoconstrictor and increases the glomerular blood pressure and thereby GF
