In What Way Does Caffeine Affect the Urinary System

Question

In what way does caffeine affect the urinary system?
A)Caffeine blocks the actions of ADH causing the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct to reabsorb urine formation.
B)Caffeine increases the actions of ADH causing the proximal convoluted tubule to reabsorb less water which leads to an increased amount of urine formation.
C)Caffeine blocks the actions of ADH causing the proximal convoluted tubule to reabsorb more water which leads to a decreased amount of urine formation.
D)Caffeine blocks the actions of ADH causing the glomerular capsule to reabsorb less water which leads to an increased amount of urine formation.
E)Caffeine increases the actions of ADH causing the distal convoluted tubule to reabsorb less water which leads to an increased amount of urine formation.

Accepted Answer

Caffeine acts as a diuretic by blocking the actions of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), leading to less water reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct, resulting in increased urine formation.
