Which one of the following statements is correct with respect to kidney function regulation?

  1. When someone drinks lot of water, ADH release is suppressed.
  2. Exposure to cold temperature blood flow stimulates formation of Angiotensin II.
  3. An increase in glomerular blood flow stimulates formation of Angiotensin II.
  4. During summer when body loses lot of water by evaporation, the release of ADH is suppressed.

Correct answer: When someone drinks lot of water, ADH release is suppressed.

Solution

Drinking a lot of water lowers plasma osmolality, so the hypothalamus reduces ADH secretion. With less ADH, the kidneys reabsorb less water and excrete more dilute urine.
