Blood solute potential is controlled by the following hormone.
Correct answer: D. Vasopressin
- A. Estrogen
- B. Epinephrine
- C. Thyroxine
- D. Vasopressin
Explanation
Option B is correct.Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also called vasopressin, is produced by the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary. It helps the kidneys reabsorb water, reducing urine volume and making it more concentrated. By conserving water, ADH regulates blood volume, blood pressure, and osmolarity. In higher amounts, it also constricts blood vessels, further increasing blood pressure.

About Homeostasis
Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.
