Question

Which of the following is not a mechanism that causes ADH to be produced and released

I. low BP
II. high BV
III. decreased atrial stretch
IV. increased osmolarity above 280 mOSm

(A) I only
(B) II only
(C) I and III only
(D) I, III and IV only

Answer 1

The mechanism that does not cause ADH to be produced and released is low blood pressure.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mechanism that does not cause ADH to be produced and released is I, low BP (blood pressure).

ADH production and release are stimulated by factors such as high blood volume (II), decreased atrial stretch (III), and increased osmolarity above 280 mOSm (IV). Hypothalamus regulates ADH secretion in response to these factors to maintain water balance in the body.

Therefore, the correct answer is (A) I only.
