Question

uestion 77 (1 point) Hypothalamic osmoreceptors are activated in response to which plasma osmolarity, 1) decreased, stimulate anti-diuretic hormone (ADH or vasopressin) 2) decreased, stimulate aldosterone 3) increased, stimulate anti-diuretic hormone (ADH or vasopressin) 4) increased, inhibit anti-diuretic hormone (ADH or vasopressin) 5) increased, stimulate atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) Save Question 78 (1 point) When baroreceptors in the atria sense increased blood pressure, it results in 8 9 5 6

Explanation / Answer

3) increased, stimulate anti-diuretic hormone (ADH)

Hypothalamic osmoreceptors are activated in response to increase in osmolarity of blood, which leads to stimulation of neurons which secrete antidiuretic hormone.
