Which of the following is an incorrect statement regarding vasopressin (ADH)?
ADH deficiency leads to diabetes insipidus, not diabetes mellitus.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 19: Chemical Coordination and Integration Endocrine Disorders
Which hormone is responsible for the regulation of water balance in the body?
ADH (Vasopressin) helps in water reabsorption in the kidneys, reducing water loss in urine.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 19: Chemical Coordination and Integration Mechanism of Hormone Action - Second Messengers
Which hormone is responsible for maintaining water balance by reducing urine output?
Vasopressin (ADH) promotes water reabsorption in the kidneys, reducing urine output.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 19: Chemical Coordination and Integration Mechanism of Hormone Action - Second Messengers
Which hormone is known as an "anti-diuretic hormone"?
Vasopressin (ADH) reduces water loss by promoting reabsorption in the kidneys, thereby preventing excessive urination.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 19: Chemical Coordination and Integration Mechanism of Hormone Action - Second Messengers
Which hormone is responsible for the regulation of water reabsorption in the kidneys?
Vasopressin (ADH) promotes water reabsorption in the kidneys, reducing urine output and maintaining water balance.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 19: Chemical Coordination and Integration Parathyroid Gland and Thymus
Which hormone is primarily responsible for regulating water balance in the body?
ADH (Vasopressin), secreted by the posterior pituitary, promotes water reabsorption in the kidneys to regulate water balance.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 19: Chemical Coordination and Integration Endocrine System and Hypothalamus Pituitary Axis
Which hormone regulates water reabsorption in the kidney?
ADH (Vasopressin) increases water reabsorption in the kidney tubules to reduce water loss.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 16: Excretory Products and their Elimination Regulation of Kidney Function - RAAS ADH ANF
Which hormone regulates water reabsorption in the kidneys?
ADH (Vasopressin) increases water reabsorption in the kidney tubules to reduce water loss.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 16: Excretory Products and their Elimination Regulation of Kidney Function - RAAS ADH ANF
The hormone responsible for reducing urine output and increasing water retention is:
ADH increases water reabsorption in the kidney, reducing urine output and preventing dehydration.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 16: Excretory Products and their Elimination Urine Formation - Reabsorption and Secretion
Which of the following statements about ADH is incorrect?
ADH does not promote sodium excretion; it regulates water reabsorption to prevent dehydration.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 16: Excretory Products and their Elimination Urine Formation - Reabsorption and Secretion
Which of the following statements about the role of ADH is correct?
ADH increases the permeability of the collecting ducts, allowing more water reabsorption and reducing urine volume.
