Which of the following statements are correct?
A. An excessive loss of body fluid from the body switches off osmoreceptors.
B. ADH facilitates water reabsorption to prevent diuresis.
C. ANF causes vasodilation.
D. ADH causes increase in blood pressure.
E. ADH is responsible for decrease in GFR.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A
A and B only
- B
B, C and D only
- C
A, B and E only
- D
C, D and E only
ADH increases water reabsorption from the DCT to prevent diuresis (B correct). ANF, secreted by the heart, is a vasodilator (C correct). ADH's water retention raises blood pressure (D correct). Excessive fluid loss activates, not switches off, osmoreceptors (A wrong). ADH does not specifically decrease GFR (E wrong).
