Question

A decrease in blood volume will result in
A) decreased blood pressure.
B) increased ADH (antidiuretic hormone) secretion.
C) decreased urine volume.
D) All of the choices will occur.

Accepted Answer

A decrease in blood volume will stimulate the release of ADH, leading to increased water reabsorption and decreased urine volume. This will help to conserve water and restore blood volume. However, the decrease in blood volume will also lead to decreased blood pressure since there is less fluid in the system to maintain pressure. Therefore, all the choices listed will occur as a result of a decrease in blood volume.
