Increased ADH secretion could be stimulated by which of the following situations?
A) Increased renal blood flow
B) Increased blood osmolality
C) Increased atrial natriuretic hormone production
D) Increased blood pressure
E) Decreased blood osmolality
ADH Secretion
The release of antidiuretic hormone, which helps control the body's water balance by affecting the kidneys.
Blood Osmolality
A measure of the solute concentration in the blood, affecting the movement of water between body compartments.
- Learn about the physiological outcomes and adaptations associated with changes in fluid and electrolyte homeostasis.
- Identify the role and regulatory processes of essential hormones in maintaining fluid and electrolyte equilibrium.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Increased blood osmolality stimulates the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) because ADH helps the body retain water to dilute the blood and decrease osmolality back to normal levels.
