Solution
The correct option is C Both A and B
The primary hormone involved in regulating water loss is the antidiuretic hormone (ADH). When the body has excess water, cells in the hypothalamus of the brain respond and send a signal to the pituitary and only a small amount of ADH is released and water is lost. When we are dehydrated these same brain cells cause more ADH to be released and water leaves the collecting duct and is returned to the blood. Thus reducing the volume of urine. Adrenocortico hormones are secreted by adrenal cortex under the influence of adrenocorticotropic hormone. The major adrenal cortex enzymes are mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids. The mineralocorticoids act on kidney tubules and help in maintaining sodium and potassium balance.
