Question

Which of the following occurs when blood volume and pressure become too high?

A. ADH release is inhibited.
B. ADH release is stimulated.
C. The renal tubules reabsorb more water.
D. The renal tubules reabsorb more sodium.
E. The kidneys produce less urine.

Answer 1

ADH release is stimulated when blood volume and pressure become too high, causing the kidneys to reabsorb more water and resulting in an increase in blood volume and pressure.

Step-by-step explanation:

When blood volume and pressure become too high, ADH (antidiuretic hormone) release is stimulated. ADH acts on the kidneys, causing the renal tubules to reabsorb more water. This leads to a decrease in urine production by the kidneys and an increase in blood volume and pressure. Therefore, the correct answer is option B: ADH release is stimulated.
