Indicate whether the following statements are true or false : (b) ADH helps in water elimination, making the urine hypotonic.
An excessive loss of fluid from the body can activate these receptors which stimulate the hypothalamus to release antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or vasopressin from posterior pituitary. It helps in reabsorption of water and Na+ from the urinary filtrate of latter parts of the tubule thereby decreasing the amount of urine released. As a result the urine may be hypertonic. ADH can also affect the kidney function by its constrictory effects on blood vessels
