- DWhen someone drinks lot of water the ADH release is suppressed.
Correct answer: D
Solution
(d) ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone), also called vasopressin, regulates the body's water balance by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys. When a person drinks a large amount of water, the blood becomes more dilute (osmolarity decreases). This suppresses the release of ADH from the posterior pituitary gland, causing the kidneys to reabsorb less water and produce a larger volume of dilute urine.More Excretory Products & Elimination PYQs
