In restricted supply of water, concentration of the filtrate is increased by the following except :
Correct answer: D. Aldosterone
- A. Counter Current
- B. Hormonal Mechanism
- C. Antidiuretic Hormone
- D. Aldosterone
Explanation
Aldosterone is associated with active reabsorption of salts not of water. Whereas, rest of the choices are associated with concentration of urine and conservation of water.

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.
