Question

During dehydration the body would increase production of
A) aldosterone and cortisol.
B) cortisol and ADH.
C) epinephrine and cortisol.
D) aldosterone and ADH.
E) epinephrine and ADH.

Accepted Answer

During dehydration, the body increases the production of aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone (ADH). This is to help retain water by increasing the reabsorption of water in the kidneys and reducing the amount of water lost in urine. Cortisol and epinephrine may also be elevated during dehydration, but they do not have a direct role in regulating water balance.
