Question

ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is secreted in response to
A) overhydration.
B) increased volume of the body fluids.
C) increased osmotic pressure of the body fluids.
D) high blood pressure.
E) increased blood volume.

Accepted Answer

ADH (antidiuretic hormone), also known as vasopressin, is secreted in response to increased osmotic pressure of the body fluids. This typically occurs when there is a high concentration of solutes in the blood, signaling the body to retain water to dilute the solutes, thereby reducing osmotic pressure.
