D)It is stimulated by a fall in blood pressure and a decrease in extracellular volume.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the circulating volume and increased blood pressure are increased, the distal tubule and collecting duct produces urodilatin (a natriuretic peptide). Urodilatin inhibits sodium and water reabsorption from the medullary part of collecting duct, thereby producing diuresis. It does not inhibit sodium chloride and water reabsorption in the medullary part of the collecting duct or inhibit ADH to prevent water reabsorption in the medullary part of the collecting duct.
