ADH carries out following functions EXCEPT A) Increases blood pressure B) Increases glomerular filtrate rate C) Increases permeability for water in DCT D) Increases Na+ excretion

Correct option:(D)Increases Na+ excretion

Solution:

  • ADH is an antidiuretic hormone.
  • Also called as vasopressin.
  • Secreted by the pituitary gland.
  • Main function is to regulate the amount of water in the blood.
  • Controls the blood pressure by acting on kidneys.
  • Increases the permeability of water in distal convoluted tubules.
  • This increases water reabsorption.
  • Also increases the glomerular filtration rate by increasing blood pressure.
