A decrease in plasma osmolality would increase ________. A) ADH production B) plasma Na⁺ levels C) renin production D) urine production E) thirst

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A decrease in plasma osmolality indicates a higher water content relative to solutes in the blood. This condition reduces the need for water conservation by the body, leading to decreased antidiuretic hormone (ADH) production. With less ADH, the kidneys reabsorb less water, resulting in increased urine production to eliminate the excess water and restore osmotic balance.
