Question

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
The hormone that controls the output of urine is:

• A. epinephrine
• B. vasopressin
• C. aldosterone
• D. oxytocin

Answer 1

The correct option is B vasopressin

(A) Epinephrine is related to the adrenal gland and is released during stress or emergency situation.

(B) Vasopressin is stimulated when there is excessive loss of fluid from the body. This facilitates water reabsorption from the latter parts of the tubule, thereby preventing diuresis.

(C) Aldosterone Acts mainly at the renal tubules and stimulates the reabsorption of Na+ and water and excretion of K+ and phosphate ions.

(D) Oxytocin acts on the smooth muscles of our body and stimulates their contraction.

So the correct answer is vasopressin.
