________ Promotes Water Reabsorption at the Kidneys and Stimulates Thirst

Question

________ promotes water reabsorption at the kidneys and stimulates thirst.
A) ADH
B) Aldosterone
C) Calcitonin
D) Renin
E) Natriuretic peptide

Accepted Answer

ADH (antidiuretic hormone) promotes water reabsorption at the kidneys and stimulates thirst. Aldosterone also regulates water balance but primarily affects sodium retention. Calcitonin and renin are involved in regulating calcium and blood pressure, respectively, and natriuretic peptide promotes salt and water excretion.
