Which of the following statements are correct? A. An excessive loss of body fluid from the body switches off osmoreceptors. B. ADH facilitates water reabsorption to prevent diuresis. C. ANF causes vasodilation. D. ADH causes an increase in blood pressure. E. ADH is responsible for a decrease in GFR. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A and B only
B, C and D only
A, B and E only
C, D and E only
To solve this problem, we need to analyze each statement and determine which are correct:A. An excessive loss of body fluid from the body switches off osmoreceptors. - This statement is incorrect. Excessive loss of body fluid actually activates osmoreceptors, which in turn stimulate the release of ADH to conserve water.B. ADH facilitates water reabsorption to prevent diuresis. - This statement is correct. ADH (antidiuretic hormone) increases the permeability of the kidney's collecting ducts to water, promoting water reabsorption and reducing urine output.C. ANF causes vasodilation. - This statement is correct. ANF (atrial natriuretic factor) is a hormone that causes vasodilation and reduces blood pressure.D. ADH causes an increase in blood pressure. - This statement is correct. By promoting water reabsorption, ADH increases blood volume, which can lead to an increase in blood pressure.E. ADH is responsible for a decrease in GFR. - This statement is incorrect. ADH primarily affects water reabsorption and does not directly decrease the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).Based on the analysis, the correct statements are B, C, and D.Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2: B, C and D only.
