Which of the following is not a stimulus for the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH)?
A
Decreased blood volume
B
Increased blood osmolarity
C
High blood glucose levels
D
Low blood pressure
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of antidiuretic hormone (ADH): ADH is a hormone that helps regulate water balance in the body by controlling the amount of water reabsorbed by the kidneys.
Identify the stimuli for ADH release: ADH is typically released in response to certain physiological changes such as decreased blood volume, increased blood osmolarity, and low blood pressure.
Analyze each option: Consider how each option affects the body's water balance and whether it would trigger the release of ADH.
Decreased blood volume: This condition signals the body to conserve water, thus stimulating ADH release to increase water reabsorption.
Increased blood osmolarity: High osmolarity indicates a higher concentration of solutes in the blood, prompting ADH release to dilute the blood by retaining water.
